Iwaker won first place in the poetry segment with her poem "dissolution."

"Dissolution”

I do not doubt
your Socratic mouth.
Your voice travels like molten gold over rivulets of thought;
the words warmly unspooling
like wisps of smoke stroking my throat, my eyes
before they arrive home.

Two-dimensional
incomprehensible,
but it's all I have of you, in the end.
The flat glass, dull lull, inveterate stare
your facsimile burns through me like an excimer.
I am un-pieced
yet again.

Picasso-an,
multi-colored,
my body slides apart like a brick of butter left out too long.
First my arms, then my knees slip and come apart,
and the head rolls sideways like a wheel of cheese.
Nothing's left but soft ruin and a pooling heart,
gasping like a fish.

Fallible, malleable
but deitific.
I see you witness my dissolution, immobile and indifferent
--but are you?
I detect subtle movements of subterranean feelings
gliding along like wary sharks,
unable to submerge, but afraid to emerge
and face me.

Am I beautiful now
--Sunk, spread, and sparkling beneath a mile of sun-smile?
I can and will forgive you
even for this,
for letting me spill apart, wide as a crime scene,
basking in your stillness, your silence;
your unintentional
violence



Penelope won 1st place in the drawing and painting segments.

Why do I always think of the best ideas 5 seconds too late? We should have axed one contestant every week in some dramatic, over-the-top ritual with a gimmicky phrase. "I'm sorry, Sunshine, you are not our type."

New catchphrase for the next round of the Gauntlet! (If there is one!)
