Honorable Mention
Columbarium
Vienna (Carole Barley)

Here, where I lose count
of the colours of the ocean
I sit facing the wind
untill my lips bleed.

I become dizzy when I stand,
the word 'water' becomes mantra
but still you are not here
to touch me.

I do not know the names
of the flowers I picked
to grace the slab behind which
you reside.

I do not remember the words
that say as you did
'I miss you'.
It does not matter.

I cannot roll my 'r's'
but I can still dance
salsa with duende,
drive on the wrong side
of the road.

You have become
the marvellous expanse of the sky;
the wave I rode and tumbled into
with no care for side currents.

I always knew I was
out of my depth,
but breathlessness is the same
in any language.
