I would like a prompt, please. My username is bardsley.

Also, if you would link me to the complete poem or include it somewhere, I would be grateful. Thank you.

agreed: when a prompt is a quote from another work, I always want to find out what those words mean in context as well as on their own

I'm delighted, but not surprised, to find that I am not the only person with this preference.

I'll be happy to DM you the full text of your poem. :D

From Placet Futile

You keep the absence of this in an amber locket,
a map of years sketched on your palm: you think
there are no borders there. I won't propose the scene again.

Thank you so much!
