Honorable Mention
The Return
Emusing (Lois P. Jones)

Loss is not emptiness--
it’s six trillion years

of death. The brass cymbal
and the exit of desire.

It is life turned
inside out, the raw

flesh of solitude,
the convergence of darkness
with earth's dull rumble.

But you know you are not
of this world.


Your flesh is made
of dandelion

You leave your body
like all the others

float into oblivion
until you crave its blood

like a Bacchanalia, try
to get it right, just one more time.

Bacchanalia [drunken fest] from Bacchus the Roman god of wine.
