Honorable Mention
an accustomed gaze
Frank Faust

he is standing at the window
gaze fixed across beach road
past the yellow buoy
that marks the channel
away to the distance
of geelong

the restaurant is a rattle around him
but he has left his party
the gun-metal blue
of the water
as the sun goes down
has caught him
drawn him to this sight
of the bay at evening

it is obvious at a glance
he needs to be there
one with the rocking waters
his posture
is near-flight

only for a moment
then gone
replaced by a sigh
and return to a place
at table
re-engagement
through light conversation

there is no comment passed
they are accustomed
to his ways
