Honorable Mention
Open
Treezaa (T. E. Ballard)

I hear a door. It could be anyone.
It could be love
walking up a stone path. Her tail curls--
this is the way need is
folding and unfolding to the windows
which bear no handles
for they have no desire to escape.
These are the ways of doors,
the metal hinge, the wooden jam, the lock
and key. I have waited in the rib
of a home, where only sorrow lived
and it made no sound. Grief
entered through the grove and tongue of boards
nailed, measured, tested
to hold weight. So I am here
under the bruise of a sky, waiting
for a click, the metal cry.
It could be a door.
