Honorable Mention
Collection
Treezaa (T.E. Ballard)

Fingernails are kept
in small boxes like jewels.
Tiny curls of hair hidden under pillows
He calls out names: June, April, May.
They are months, years
of women unformed. Newspapers
tell of death more than life
and I long for sons. A desire
to iron their skin, press tiny frames
to glass. My daughters are moths,
untouched, their wings opening,
an illusion of flight.
