PROMPTS for MONDAY




The warm fug in a winter car

We let the boy-soldiers practice on pigs

Behind the dirty, yellowing lace


=========================================


Anything could happen, anything


Polishing Daddy’s Volvo


If you stare long enough…


=========================================


The pinned frog twitches


Before she was a virgin


My books £100,000. If i hadn’t bought them I’d be poor.


=========================================


Sandcastles, sand-moats, sand soldiers at the gate


Lungs like a clogged drain


In the garage, the car cools, slowly becoming alone


=========================================


Blood-Red Walls, white-dado


Once fish grew legs and pigs, gills


I am sort of Irish


=========================================


The pain you carry on your back


My dowdy leather bag


Why are kids called “Squirt”?


=========================================


I turned to look, but the past had disappeared


Sunday-Morning Sex


Love was once just a noun


=========================================


I lay it on the altar of my desk


Sometimes, if I am not careful, I think of my mother


The utterly naked Mind


=========================================


With a breath, we step across the rope


The moon is often kind


My badge says “Designated Driver”
