“TAKE 90 SECONDS AND LIST ITEMS YOU MIGHT FIND IN A CEMETERY.
AFTERWARD, WRITE A POEM/STORY THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE ITEMS IN YOUR LIST.
YOUR SETTING IS ANYWHERE BUT IN A CEMETERY!”
Names and dates leave
blanks in my mind
more often than not
these days. Someone
has put up a gate
to block thoughts.
Scents, if not sense,
are still a joy–rain
with its earthiness,
stones stroked by
tears of the ocean.
Maybe losing some
facts along the way
makes life less
cluttered.
(dates, names, gates, stones, tears)
