Honorable Mention
White Christmas Sand
Julius (Michael j. Sottak)

the only dune
bears a cross

the sky bluer
than God's eye

sand whiter
than snow

i collect the smell
of death

simple
wash of the sea

over those who stayed
(floated, punched, crawled,
into attics)

we count
with blinking eyes
what is left

they grant us access
two months later

contracts to rebuild

the owner's pale smile

an amoire on the second floor

the only value
he couldn't move


(of the 20 to 30 foot dunes that lined the shore of Pensacola Beach, for ten plus miles, only one was left standing, the one with a cross, imbedded in it's berm.
{I must go read the inscription. We've been working there for three days, now... but the weather has been miserable...and my youthful crew just wants to "git her done".}
