I’ve gone from one day behind to two days behind. Muse, help me catch up.
The Day 15 prompt is “ use the following five words in your poem: slash, button, mask, strap, and balloon. Use them in any order.” It took a while to get started on this prompt, but here is what I came up with.
“Persona”
Each button secured and
both bootstraps fastened.
More important: the mask
I show the world applied.
Where is childhood? Innocence?
Gone. Floated away like
my birthday balloon. A slash
dividing me from myself.
