Honorable Mention
Reflections on the Sky
Devon Rand

there is a large yellow cat sitting on a white fence
lazy like butter melting in the sun
and he can’t help noticing that the summer sky
reminds him of the color of freedom—
infinite waves of indigo and white
devoid of the sound and fury
that men twine around their necks
to keep out the heat and the cold

And over the hill of calico grass
a girl with brown eyes reflects the sky—
a muddy parody of light in two glassy spheres,
and she can’t help thinking
how the color of the sky is the color of fear—
too bright, too vast—the fleeting confrontation
with eternity
a florescent dark stranger
only a breath away from the stars
