Honorable Mention
Losing the Unspoken
Steve Williams

He squats, a still form, hand held out
for the kitten sneaking through the weeds.

Once, she let those fingers caress
her spinal arch. He held her vibrato,
cupped leather feet, bundled
her in his jacket, out of the rain.

Once, he closed his hands on her,
felt the explosion of instinctual panic,
as she tore deep lines in his flesh,
and fled.

Today, she bounds in pursuit
of butterflies and imagined mice.
He remains crouched, a statue
with a bleeding hand, outstretched.

She frolics past,
refuses to understand statuesque.
