Honorable Mention
Cine-Projections for Romantics
Vienna (Carole Barley)

There is frost in these afternoon woods, paths strewn
with the last of autumn’s brambles catch the unwary walker .
When she turns, his hand is on her shoulder, resting lightly,
like a bird, maybe a sudden shaft of sunlight.

She has listened to his meanderings, fairytales shot through
with passion; cobalt and violet, like Persian silk;
seen his hands caress, evoke breath-heavy beat
through elegant bend of wrist and half closed eyes.

She would call him to her bed, magick kingfishers
from the blue of his intense eyes, teach him rhythms
only the enchanted and moonstruck know;
leave him to ponder the next verse.

It is too late in the year to gather roses.
Holly and fragrant twinings of pine-fronds would be
a fitting winter crown, to sit above the pale curve of brow,
below windtangled, wayward mane of gold.
