Honorable Mention
Obverse Petit Poem
Christopher Francis Bowers

Standing Still

Trees fall by air, by fire, by hands
that grasp in greed.

Tall graceful elders sway in
gentle breezes
imprint on the retina of vernal eyes
as shadows on a deep purple sky.

Hand on cool glass
reaches for the heat of that first star
just above the tallest tree.
The wish translated through air for something
beyond knowing
before everything changed.

Now eyes well versed
wonder out another window
far away at that same purpled hour
gaze at a starless sky as trees rustle
still stand.
