There is a course of lonely blood
running through the
left side of my body
I freeze in my sleep
I make no sound when we meet
my loneliness bends down and
kisses me
I crush bumblebees
over my cereal
and wake
choking on wings

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
