FIRST PLACE
Rain Words
By Laryalee Fraser
Salmon Arm, British Columbia
From a vast blue page,
cloud sentences
slide earthward,
breaking apart as they tumble.
On syllabic toes, rain
words skitter
across roads, roofs, leaves
and upturned faces,
absorbing the nuances
Of every dialect,
intent on finding the voice
that will speak them
back to the sky again.
