Honorable Mention
Upon Meeting Death
Lisa Megraw

Thin scratchy bones
snatch for water,
unfolding hundreds of eyes
inside her uncombed flesh,
they lie blinking under black iced lids.

Roots drag towards the colours
of flush baby greens,
reaching for me
she unclips winter nails

to impale softness
as daylight transudes
into brackish soil.

Viruses flow like salmon
through tightening cobra skin
as l bleed her sins into the moon
birthed lake, the slip
of oxygen
down throat cut vines

- this is where it all began
inside the mouth of night
where names are released
and caught on the tails of furled leaves.
