Day 19: Command

 



Today's prompt was to write a poem that begins with a 'command' verb.


Quotidian

Look, today is the same as every other day. 

Honeydew dawn light, the sun 

a mere rind in the sky.  

 

Dust motes float in the minutes, 

pixelate the hours into blurry humdrum. 

The clock ticks on relentless. 

 

Today is blanched yellow, like a bruise.  

Tomorrow grey, faltering.  

And the moon, the moon will not show  

 

her face for fear a thumb 

will smudge her out of sky 

and into dark forgetting.
