The glistening earth motions back and forth as kisses from poison weeds graze fingernails coated underneath sickly green as skin is scraped and bleeding Broken syllables of a name once far forgotten tattooed above a heart as spider claws trace the outline of pectorals Straight hairs and lambs curls intertwine in a lonesome tango beneath ghostly cotton waves Creaking creaking the ship of seas can take no more of her weeping aching sighs salted waters take over and dribble from the openings of life and hatred Trophy wife, token gain What is that smell on your shirt? What’s the name you say as I take you in my warmth? As I absorb your anger of the world? What’s that name?

Second Place
The glistening earth motions back and forth as kisses from poison weeds graze fingernails coated underneath sickly green as skin is scraped and bleeding Broken syllables of a name once far forgotten tattooed above a heart as spider claws trace the outline of pectorals Straight hairs and lambs curls intertwine in a lonesome tango beneath ghostly cotton waves Creaking creaking the ship of seas can take no more of her weeping aching sighs salted waters take over and dribble from the openings of life and hatred Trophy wife, token gain What is that smell on your shirt? What’s the name you say as I take you in my warmth? As I absorb your anger of the world? What’s that name?
