I wish I had had this,
and I want to deny.
The moist earth
has forgotten she ever knew me.
Remember how I hated them —
symbols of someone I no longer recall.
(Yet would still embrace always,
beyond this realm.)
31 Poems in 31 Days (from Poewar / Writer's Resource Center). Prompt: Choose a writing process you haven't tried before. I tried something I once read of: choose someone else's poem, respond to each line with one of your own, remove the other poet's lines, tweak. The result is a work of fiction and I think the narrator must be a ghost! The source was De Profundis by Lorca.
