Honorable Mention
Deep E
Michael Donahue

Tonight I'm sure to sleep,
sure to dream.
She's got a monopoly
on the images...
soft curves,
suggestive smiles,
meadow flowers in her hair.
Summer dresses,
game day chases in the back yard
with the kids.
I'll be the angry green man,
Darth Mal, Sith, or Bio Bot,
whatever characters suit the mood.
I can play in color.

Weary, I am falling as I write,
to visions of tomorrow...
but what of sound?
Darling, where is our sound?

There's no room here,
under timber and plaster...
in my slumber
all the amps have been taken.

At the bottom of a mountain,
on a baseball diamond
the Warwick Infinity sets to steal,
with such deep tones
lays down a rythym
for the Epiphone
to follow stark
light holy chords,
blues, jazz, or rock
whatever cadence serves to soothe

but tonight,
in your summer dress
you sought a largo
a slow progression
and I promise,
falling,
as we kiss,
that our deep E
will sound over the course,
the stream
and the sleeping children
wrapped warm in the valley.
