Honorable Mention
Oaks
beautyseer

Poolside at the Mystic Oaks
resort in Cleveland National
Forest – hottest day
of the year – we are
indolent under the
trees, languid in
the lush life of our
bare, oiled bodies.

The old oaks – clustered
in this canyon where
the stream has not flowed
for two years – look
worn, insect-gnawed.
In a hot breeze, whisper.
Pronounce above our heads
the parched, multi-syllabled
stirring that sounds like that
soft, vowel-filled oakleaf word.
The one that means both water
and desire.
