Honorable Mention
Hollywood (sonnet)
Graeme Mullen

Come ask this lonely East Coast refugee
just why he’s stranded here without a dime.
He’ll tell you that his lover, drunk on wine,
stormed out on him, did not return his keys,

Did not replace the Chardonnay he’d bought,
but stumbled out into the Eastern Sea,
and left him only in the company
of Californian women, who he thought

Looked flat inside his T.V. screen, and so
he took off for Los Angeles, but there
light shows distracted him, he didn’t hear

The meter clicking as the bright grid cleaved
away his nights, and charged that hourly rate
that puts a man too deep in debt to leave.
