Honorable Mention
The Girl on the Bus
Gary Blankenship

her slip sags
beige against eggshell

she sits in a side seat
eyes stuck to the floor
a copper-studded vest drops next to her
she melts into maroon

a child in yellow
steps on her shoe
charcoal streaked on gray

at the transfer station
she steps off the bus
pink fingers pull straps

she waits for her bus
the long ride home
dinner of green salad and grapes
phone calls

unaware
of a sudden shower
and her slip sags
beige beneath damp flowers
