Honorable Mention
this is a love poem like no other
Treezaa (T. E. Ballard)

The man is dead and so is the woman
there is nothing
but the thought of love
and it is waiting here on the page.

Do you hear it now?

Almost a voice, almost a call
and it could be a mother
a child
it could be a sound
the sound of your self

alone in a room.

Name it. It wants to be named.
Call it.
Your first word--cat, dog
did you say cup, bowl
with your small fingers wrapped
around a spoon,

did you cry?

Empty, empty pointing to a house,
a tree and did they say

no, no

the people you love
did they correct the sound
the sound of your voice
calling?

The man is dead but so is the woman
there is nothing here

once you said love
but someone played with a word

named it house, tree
and you said no,

this in not at all what I mean.
