Honorable Mention
Quitter’s Lament
Laurel K. Dodge

This is when I miss them most: on nights when fireflies swarm
the weeping willow like constellations pulling themselves apart,

or days when the rain falls hard, stoning me for everything I’ve done
or haven’t, the smell of surfaced worms filling my nostrils,

or when I extend the minutes with ins and outs, the soul
manifested as smoke, a cobra lured from its basket,

or after you take my breath and I forget briefly
who I am, the limits of skin and what love is.
