Honorable Mention
On the Mole
Julius (Michael Sottak)

beneath the headland
before we weighed anchor
you asked me

before the Suez
and the grommet scuttle
and i couldn't answer

not before
the wind-funnel Red Sea
blew hard against the oil

not before
turning north
when you asked me again

the question
that rode my mind
all those days

you stood on the bridge wing
in the Arabian wind
under a bowl of stars

i admired your patience

the distance between rising moons
unravelled much folly

i underlined
our difference in age
parried for time

time
i no longer have

and you want to know

i hold out my hands
but the words never come

the seabouy at Hormuz
blinks once

as we pass
