Challenge
What is something you wish you could forget?
Prompt from a class I took years ago. Prose or poetry. For an extra challenge, only allow yourself 15 minutes to write. Tag me!
A World Square Rooted
For as long as we live
I will not wish
upon myself
or anyone else
that premature
death, to forget....
exponentially
elders say
it's built in
as mechanism
for our survival
that we shall neglect
the pain of our labor...
of work or war or birth
focus instead on
the by product,
the aftermath,
of less is more
and remember
ever after
life would be unbearable no?
in great detail
it's best then
to let it go...
to die little by little
to the highest power
of the unknown.
