Honorable Mention
Picking up the Pieces
Julius (Michael Sottak)

northside of Sebastion
at the Inn on a cool day
somehow believing January
actually comes to Florida...

a dog-eared Carl Haisen novel
holding the half moons of a Buffet CD
i sat on a few nights before
pages mottled with tears
a triangular tear from a menu
folded into the same thought
as a liquor store receipt
stuck together with Grand Marnier
spilled into my lap
a few nights previous
blurred black and blue
but somehow readable
like an old treasure map

at least i knew my dad was safe
the explosion didn't harm
any of the booster recovery team
they were on station right below
the explosion...insulation rained
from clear blue sky for days
when they called me

a black box was the priority
the bodies of the astronauts

gratuitous
