FIRST PLACE

Kites (Form: Minute)

By Jeanette Oestermyer
Roswell, New Mexico


I’d love to fly into the sky
away up high
just like a kite
til out of sight.

A string attached that someone holds
collapse in folds
when seized in trees
by biting breeze.

Perhaps my choice to fly above
my cloistered cove
a gentler path
less apt at wrath.
