Challenge
If you had an entire treasure box of everything you've lost, what would you search for first?
Any form of writing. This is simply a challenge to see if someone resonates with my past the most. Make me and those who read your writing as heart-wrenching or as straight-forward as possible.
Has Anyone Seen
my innocence? Kept
in this old gray box;
a fistful of dry leaves
turned up to receive
rain.
It must have died
planted deep
in the ground
I forgot I‘d buried
it in, now a decayed
and long
disintegrated memory.
or did I lose it long ago
in my 77‘ Nova
with you in my lap
shifting gears, pulling
the hill in low gear?
hands on my shoulders,
hips swaying to the 80s
lost in the rhythm
of your thighs.
