Honorable Mention
Notes to Emily
Emusing

Nocturnes become lamplight,
the same way that your eyes
changed from allegro to adagio.
It is difficult to tell if the music

reached the inner corners
of your room. You watched
the passing of every cavalcade.
The slow cadence of horse hooves

recede until the carriage has gone
on without you. Now you sit before
an orange flame, feel each flicker
create the distance, your life moves

like a dusty abacus waiting to be
counted. You tell me that the nearest
dream recedes, unrealized. I tell you autumn
is over but the last leaf has not yet gone.


*Emily Dickenson's "The Nearest Dream Recedes Unrealized."
