The winning poem for 2010 is . . . by Karlyn Louise Risher My thoughts are coy fish Swelling in the space I give them Or their bones drying splinters in my brain Some gasping at air they can't breathe Others nibbling on fractions of sunlight All wandering patternless Through faulty synapses I keep some on strings Like balloon animals Sometimes I think I should Snip the threads and let them go Through ears and eyebrows Or let them wrap themselves up Cocoons of cautionary fleshy fibers In the folds of my brain To transcend this mortal mind And be taken up upon the winds of the universe My thoughts are coy fish That have sprouted wings. |
