Honorable Mention
Sunday Afternoon
Graeme Mullen

Your hair glows warmly
in the candlelight you smile and say:
this time last year, inside this church,
I fucked a stranger on the altar


And a flame goes out in my head
and now it is all you and your stranger,
twisted around each other like rope,
flicking tongues, hearts burning wicks,
your body laid out like sacrifice
and the small of your back
curving defiantly in the dark

I look to your eyes expecting
the apple green of adder eyes,
But they are deep and blue and true,
maybe deeper than before?
like icecaps, or uncut opals,
or the stained glass window above
that sings light
onto the hard backs of the pews
