Honorable Mention
Buried Alive
Emusing (Lois P. Jones)

Your name was burnt
in the sun, pulled
like a shrunken tent
too tightly to cover
the impossible. Fate

has buried you
in the sands of Fallujah
but the wind carries
the frightened drum of your life.

I don’t want you to die.

If we place our hands firmly
against your heart
will we feel the dead weep?
If we place our lives
firmly against yours
maybe then, we’ll feel you burn
in every drop of our days.
