Honorable Mention
The Disaster of Loving
Silvia A. Brandon-Perez

So I sought up in heaven
and down the mountain
with kisses, hugs,
screams, laughs, songs,

with a pot full of fresh lentils
and a tuned guitar and seven lizards,
with three clocks marking different hours
in this uneven universe assigned to me,

with passion, willfulness, malice aforethought,
desire, innocence, tongue stuck out
from so much violated kissing,
through windows, between doors,

with lace from teenage girl
slips and one hundred gray hair,
thirty wrinkles, English
lavender,

I screamed, sobbed,
sang, claimed, damned,
responded, danced a son,
guaracha, a guaguancó,

got involved in an ocho
from a messed up tango,
put San Antonio upside down,
lit candles to the spirits of dawn

in the end, nothing, mierda,
disillusionment, the memory of some night
in which passion took over, you,
the crickets madly whining outside,

cats mewling and the dogs and wolves
and those small evil rabbits
out of some story by Cortázar
and later

silence,
end of the story
no cinemacolor.
