Flash 55




Days crawl,
A trail of poured treacle.
How many clouds have I seen pass
By these windows I've opened and shut again—
Count how many times—I've walked from door
To bed, to window, to door - how many steps
Taken in this temporary home, this land.
How many months to make
A citizen?

Prompt: Imaginary Garden's Flash 55 prompt. I'm using Sunday's prompt, but technically this is Friday's poem since I'm catching up.

    I feel the sadness and weariness. I fear it takes a long time anywhere.

    I love the egg shape of the poem and the words contain a kind of searching. Your artwork is delightful.
