Honorable Mention
Borderline
Treezaa (T. E. Ballard)

Tonight birds die on a wire but do not drop,
the cold holds their bodies
and they become brown kites, inhaling,
exhaling with the wind.
I know they are dead
because of the smell and the brown ash
which slips through my fingers
like snow. This is the way
of war. Tomorrow they will fall
from the sky and it will not matter
for they were never beautiful
or needed--just common
sparrows who did not know
where to land.
