Honorable Mention
Fibs on the Wing
Gary Blankenship

Gray,
green
and brown –
today’s tones,
barren as the words
that limp carelessly from your lips,
words false as the red of roses in my dead garden.

I try to listen to your lame, easy excuses,
but my attention drifts away
to the cry of flies
caught frozen
beside
dead
wasps.

A
bee
drifts round
dusty drapes,
confused by the warmth
of paper poppies, more likely
to find its way than I am to escape your deceit.
