The original three
the beginning, almost
of our bond.
In my backyard
reading books that we found
weird
gross
too informational
with comic strips
oh, I am never going to forget the comic strips.
We bonded
but over what, I can't tell
maybe it was because we biked and walked to school together
maybe it was because we knew each other
nearly from the start.
We're still like that
except we walk and bike to school together less
but we still have the connection
the bond
the trio.
Prompt for 2025-26 challenges:
Character connections: In poetry or prose, write about a connection - whether positive, negative, or neutral - between two characters or yourself and a character.
I am tormented by slight movements
even silence is hurting me
reality seems to be strobing
or something like it -
I've yet to learn how to explain these moments to others,
even myself.
It's not normal,
This is the worst kind of anticipation
this anticipation isn't just fear of what is to come
it's laced around the edges with knowledge of how it went last time
of how a repeat of last year is most likely inevitable.
