Honorable Mention
Milkweed
Paul Lyons

Waking by the river
I gather from the grass signs of coming weather.
Now the broken glass is scattered and the western winds deliver
dust to scrub me clean. I register this matter

in the milkweed pod and seed: I will travel, clever
not to step where you have walked, either

toward the sea with this passing front
heading as the current
eddies or downward at a slant

just as I am found
among the bound
roots that work the shattered glass to sand.
