Our winner: Christine!

The was something subtle and wonderful here:

The sky is hazy
Return, Carolina blue
A hawk soars above

barefeet on pavement
ouch, ouch, blistering, ouch, ouch
tar upon my heels


She starts with "Carolina Blue" and ends with tar heels. Crazy good!

So, who is this "Christine?" After graduating from Miami University (Arizona), she moved to Gotham City and started working as junior forensic accountant for DA Harvey Dent. Her sterling work quickly led to her ascending to the top ranks of the law enforcement apparatus in Gotham.

As one might expect, she also began socializing with one Bruce Wayne, the owner of Wayne Industries. Rumor has it that he asked her to work on "Project Millennia," in which she had a lead role, and during which she received a small scar on her lower back shaped like a saber.

Then she moved to rural North Carolina and retired. The End.

Comments:

Christine worked very hard this week as a poet and a friend,and richly deserves this award.
 
Sure, you're first job is to write me better dialogue!
 
I'm beginning to enjoy being without email more with each passing Feast or Holiday and returning to catch up on the wonderful posts missed - Congratulations all!!!

Though, being drawn north to savor treasured memories, special places, childhood walks, two reunions -family and high school- and recounting a first kiss was worth every second...

Flowing curls gently tousled in warm breezes under robin’s egg blue skies, gentle tears streaming across cheeks of dusty rose blush, enjoying a picnic lunch and wordless conversations, perched atop a U of M blanket crowned over both parent’s last resting place.

Quiet…

A Canadian father’s and American mother’s earthly bond to the country where two lives became one, drawn to a reality fully enjoyed upon separating themselves from the individual security each stood upon.

Balance, harmony and inner peace attained by letting go, by gently loosening the mooring lines of life and trusting the buoyancy of faith and love, secure in the knowledge that during a raging storm they could trust in Him and His promises, that His hand and embrace would see them through, calling to them as He did to Peter, “Come!”

America has welcomed many, asking little in return. How have we answered? How did we answer today? How will we answer tomorrow?

Quiet?
 
Oh, so that's where she got that scar.
