The Prompt
Let words appear as thoughtlessly
as thoughts in meditation. Let
them come and go, and do not be
attached to them, or let them set
themselves in stone. Just see them as
they pass, enjambing wildly on
their way to something meter has
in store, collecting as the dawn
collects itself to launch the world
again and again and again,
or as a rattlesnake lies curled,
prepared to strike and puncture skin.
