Honorable Mention
Reflection
Treezaa (T.E. Ballard)

I’ve grown tired of simile, metaphor,
the red teeth around my neck, the fox
dropping stones at my door.

Today, alone
the world walked by
and three women stopped at my window.

The first had breasts like buds,
tight-fisted
and she past
slowly watching her own eyes.

A mother held her baby on a hip
and a man held them both
and in that moment,
they were satisfied.

The third, the one I do not speak of
with symbols or with signs.

The fox she came
undid her coat, stood bare,
and beckoned me outside

and this where it could beautiful,
this beast,

but words are without meaning.
I’ve grown tired of the animal.
