Honorable Mention
Orchid Against Stone
Laurie Byro

You didn't believe me. Being naïve
I took a paintbrush to the wall and sucked

the dry markings into the brush's
nub of hair. You who appreciate details

will ask if the brush were made of camel,
sable or squirrel, if I were wearing those torn

green tights you loved. I shall not confess
the particularities that make me human.

I'm having a problem with specifics lately.
Whether the moon was waxing or waning,

whether your hands were warm
or stingy cold-the color of your eyes.

I have no one else to please.
Right before sleeping I have only this

wild imagination. These vaporous fingers
reaching in through this cold glass

to fuck the covers under my chin.
The white fist of the moon.
