Third Place Winner: Misa Friesen-Kobayashi From now on no more solos I tie you to me - Michael Ondaatje * I. In a moment I will play the spy, taking pictures to hang in the dark room of all things left between us. The film will catch your            laughing smile            beneath a halo of stars. I want to promise that you can fall into them, but how can I promise you will find your way back? II. I used to love the quiet. Now, I fill it with "our" songs, the last notes are like the perfume that remains long after absence fills the room.            My hands fumbled            wanting to pluck perfect words            to give to you,            words that say            from now on            no more solos.   Back to Feb/05 Winners Home
