Outlaw
by Calgary’s Christine Falk
A quiet soul will stand quiet
in the light of all just treatment
but take away justice;
take away justice from the quiet soul
and a whisper becomes a wail.

Boa Constrictor
by Okotoks's Erin Vance
My face is flaking- shaking like the air’s too thin
I can’t breathe
-skin shedding like a boa,
I kiss you in the vacant winter
-incomprehensible.
Your lips have a taste I don’t always remember
it being like this.

the cattle head for the hills
the cowboys in close pursuit
the prairie reverts to primal sea
trilobites appear across the land

Second Place - Poetry Contest #3
Ariel
by Calgary's Mikaela Radford
And I was Ariel, servant to the wise,
My hair was blue and mouth was stained as well
As though I’d muttered ink on pages white, and
Around mine eyes collected tears of sea
