Honorable Mention
Gravity Calling
Simon Cooper

Gravity calls and downward all, it goes
Tumbling out
Like eveninglight's final death throes
My woes, such as they are
That it must end
This grand assembly of families and friends

And here it lies, my love, my life
Soft beside
Under enamel and eyes closed tight
Essential, vital, potential bride
Everything in her heart is right
Everything in each cloud is white
Silvered sun, rippling wan
Over capitol riverbank
Further inward, lesser on
Where in an earlier time I've gone
To witness the courtship of the swan

Little child woken now, and I
Lent me her felts for what I feel
Writing it down before it vanishes
Would that it weren't a bigger deal

Nothing is gone
I will live on
Every waking hour enhanced
Taking a leap on every chance
Taking a leaf before I fall
Friends of my heart, I love you all
Laugh at me yes, but with your love
When I fall down please pull me up
When I walk tall please hold me straight
When I am due, accept me late
Never forget this august date
(Short by a week but words belie
What seminal days fall in July)

Now for a red the child will cry
And she will wonder, maybe, why
Did that strange stranger write and write
Likes someone given to speaking on
And on again on again maybe on
Envelope opened
Audience gone

I only answer with a smile
Happiness beaming from within
Lines on my cheeks
Enough for weeks
Of holding anticipation still
Where on my way I found my will
I'll never know, but...hold until
Here is the rub and here's the end
You are my love, my life, my friend
You are my love, my life, my friend
You are my love, my life, my friend
You are my love, my life, my friend

Gravity calls
We all descend.
