Kim, Great prompt for this time of the year. I decided on being a minimalist and chose 31 lines. Ghosts on my mind this week...
ReplyDeletehere you go...a quick rattle of bones from my brain...
ReplyDelete'bump in the night'
bump in the night
bump in the night
covers pulled tight
i deny the dead
their place
in my life
this works
for neither of us
so we settle for coffee,
both black-no sugar
& sit silent
together
saying so much
Bri, glad that people still drink coffee no matter what
Deletesmiles. i am all about coffee....even if its with my skeletons...smiles.
Deletesome people run on coffee, other run on tea ;)
