PROMPTS

01 The light upon the ice

02 On a poem, scribbled red, “Harper 724”

03 In dark corners, in airless alleyways

04 Bury me in Lycra, leave my hair uncombed

05 We had hoped to soften men

06 I held out my hand, you took my wrist

07 An ice-cream van to lead parades

08 Morning betrayed you

09 His cell, his narrow dialect

10 Wearing shorts, leathery, a sweat-stained, salty hat

11 You were naked as you jumped: tremendous!

12 At Costa, the virus, waits outside the door

13 Lest we forget, most died frightened

14 What colours are the months?

15 A side effect of condensation

16 Drums under snow

17 Today, your last lesson, tomorrow you teach.

18 Such as the earth is, hopeless, waiting

19 I do not expect applause

20 The sandbag wall is a nice touch

21 We are burning trash: putting out dead children

22 The clink of bottles on the step

23 The all the nations sang together

24 It is warm upon my rock

25 Yes, yes, but what if I AM an alien?
