Honorable Mention
Honey Moon
Maryann Hazen Stearns

A dozen and dozen moons more
than grandma's years
on the astral chart
of my summer-morn daughter,

and a dozenth more than that,

the red hibiscus grew in this patch.
Each Litha brings its green stalks
to the edge of my garden.

Wild bees gather; birds of the muse,
who settle my lips like a love song.

Pollen-laden legs tickle and I blow a kiss
at each vibration of whisper and wing.

The giant red face of hibiscus opens its eye,
marvels at the flight of the divine messenger
on its journey to the rim of a golden honey moon.
