Prompt: If I could make one thing vanish forever, it would be < this is a prompt from the teal version of Burn after Writing
Poem 10:
If everything could last despite
the absence of Time – I wonder
what kind of world we would be
living in if Father Time simply
decided to be no more. Would
that mean the end of dementia
or rather the end of everything.

“paint on your hands”
Poem 10 take 2:
With paint on your hands
we are crowded beneath
the things you create and
the versions of people we
have always wanted to be,
but never figured out how
to actually become. Darling,
you and I have always been
the better parts of each other
but this – this is too beautiful
not to share with the world.

Reading this gave me the feeling that I was reading a character in a book. That the character was writing a journal, and we were hearing their first person thoughts. And they said no, not going there. Let’s start over. Then it leads me to the imagery of a couple, nice and sweet and clearly in love. Felt like early love. Was that original character writing about that couple? Good story. 🙂
