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.
