Honorable Mention Gesture of Irises Kathy Paupore He wraps anger in the silence of white paper and coiled ribbons of insecurity, then builds limestone steps, asks if she wants irises to transplant or will she let them rot. In the hot sun she plants wilted promises along the steps. A light on her knee, the dragonfly folds onyx wings in prayer. Hope is the purple of cold creek water, next June there must be irises. |
