Honorable Mention
Warsaw Motel
Graeme Mullen

(for Elliot Smith)

I.

Out the back of the motel
I found a raccoon, a tiny frozen
gargoyle—he had trailed blood
in a red line through the snow;
It looked like a rope, like he had
all the trees in tow.

II.

Rocking between the bedposts
you spilled the glass of wine
on your white dress. I walked in, thought,
my god, she’s been stabbed in the chest.
Later on that night the concierge
confessed, “Round these parts,
you know, wouldn’t be too far fetched.”

III.

Down in the lounge they have
bloodless heads, all kinds
on the walls. “Taxiderney,” you said,
but I didn’t hear it then—
Too many other broken jaws
for me to notice yours.
