NaPoWriMo - 2017 - 24. April 24 : Realm of a Spirit
The prompt is to use a Simic line as a diving board from which to spring into your own new poem.
Realm of a Spirit
I left parts of myself everywhere
The way absent-minded people leave
Gloves and umbrellas.
Hands and legs for forebearers
The way they get support to stand from
Walking sticks and stands.
Shoulders for kinfolks, for mates
To hold on to and, sometimes, to let go; as
For coffers and kleenex.
Brain for the psychos
To invade and molest; as
For blinds and ties and cursed objects.
Heart for the butcher
Who have the taste for slaught and sell
Behalf of meet for treat.
Blood for the vampires
Who suck out the state of being alive
Behalf of the treasures hold.
~Emi.
