First Place: Saori Hiratsuka

I cherish his hands:
callused skin, strong phalanges,
his steel wedding ring.

Honorable Mentions

Pearl pressed in ones shoe
Charred dove bedded in ones flue
Dare I describe you

Her lovely bones hang.
The bind broke on my neck now.
Dead salvage of us.

for spring and for sunlight to
paint its leaves green.

For you're a dandelion
Waiting to be blown
