Thurs/Fri Midnight Prompts
Everyone knows, of course they do
A little bit of change
Taliban 1 Our Lot 0
At the end of the day, all things being equal
RUNNING
I go back to the garden, the dark garden
Looks like you took a wrong turn
You asked for a man. You got me.
My mother could not look at me
We have grown accustomed. This is how we are.
From my navel, heading south
GUIDE BOOK
Darkness slides in, the bar lights flicker
BREN
Not far from here, in an old, crusty apartment
The true function of love
Green beans, carrots, nuts and bolts
RIFLE
You forgot how to love me, but not the other stuff

Prompts Monday 5th 10:40
I am deceiving you
I stood like a God
It is hard to pretend the women are not there
A crocodile, waiting
Come in, friend
Finally, I can feel it. It is turning
BEANS
We know nothing of days like those, nothing
They are my mothers
Her belly long and flat
CHECK
What is it, this beauty?
Look at the sky!
The heifer nuzzling the fence
and even if I could I would not
Wheeling and wheeling above the carrion
I stood like a God
It is hard to pretend the women are not there
A crocodile, waiting
Come in, friend
Finally, I can feel it. It is turning

September Blast Prompts 003
I stumbled down the stairs towards the singing
Raw Mango
It felt like the world was too large
The Generals
My suit does not fit, nor do I.
Not Losing
The broken window, light bleeding on the floor
PEA
Of white islands, cold, clear sea
I once was six, without troubles
CAMERA
Cattle trucks clanking slowly. Afternoon Heat
DRAIN
There was a fat man there, with a whistle and a hat
So easily doth love depart, so sudden.
Ten Green Bottles
An aeroplane, lights winking, red-green, red-green-red.
BLINK
All that morning, all that afternoon, barely breathing
Nettle
The black maid singing by the line
Potato
Watch Autumn, it does not come, it rises through
A face, and in her eyes, stars
They may not mean to but they do.
