Honorable Mention
If We Be Seals
M. Kathryn Black

This deck covers water,
but unlike a ship goes nowhere.
It is perpetual summer
and we dive into wet greenness.
Our skins thicken; we are seals
today, tomorrow, and the rest
of our precious lives–
laughter is a throaty bark.
Love is always graceful.

We lounge in deck chairs,
nibble on minnows
before gliding down the slide
into our private bay.
There are sunbeams to follow,
mackerel to dine on
as we dance to the humpback’s
song far away.
