Honorable Mention
Pablo
seaandbell (Debi Carwell)

An angel’s hand
paused near his name
and a word grew
from the light

lyre strung with dusk,
sparks were something he kept
in brilliant records,
moonlight and roots

and he flew, like the purest light
of a storm

shadow poet
made of somber grace,
sublime bird of
a thin country

you shared heaven
with loud tourists
for naught,
for a sigh

even the trees knew your name
recognizing in you
the things of stars and fields

a little while here …
a hearth burning like wings
on a flickering staircase

made of rain, dressed
in the sea
as humble and grand as
winter’s dying cantible

finding favor
with the sun, with women
so your days burned on
and even the burning
was rapturous

but now is the dark.

an iron sepulcher of the unborn
fills and empties,
it’s passengers lulled
in the tentacles of
this wooden play

O artisan
dying in candle light,
I have only crude words
to pin at your door

a wreath of silence
remembering your poetry

like grains of sand
forming the shy pearl
of dawn
