poetry_fiction 2019 prompt from Evensong by Tishani Doshi:
But it is nothing—
this song of our communion
Less than what the animals share
as they walk to the riverbank in slow repair

stopping to lick each other's wounds

From Understanding My Fate in a Mexican Museum

I may never hold creation in my skin
but I will always dream it.

From Strong Men, Riding Horses

Treacherous as they are,
we must encounter these phantoms, desert-eyed.

from My Grandmother Never Ate a Potato in Her Life

We are in the house alone together
and it is everything I've ever feared.

From Everyone Loves a Dead Girl

Truly, they believe themselves when they say,
the world is a forest, darling, remember the bread crumbs,

From How to be Happy in 101 Days

Set out into
the world and prepare to be horrified.

From Girls are coming out of the Woods

Girls are coming
out of the woods, clearing the ground
to scatter their stories.

from The Leather of Love

I pour light through my hands to make
brass, a bell, something to lure you from
your hiding place

From Tranås

I want to hitch a ride to another life.

from O Great Beauties!

a quiet wood
outside the town, with a banquet
in a field of belladona?

From Rain at Three

This is how desire works:
splintering first, then joining.

From Poem for a Dead Dog

This isn't about resisting,
but about longing

From Encounters With a Swedish Burglar

I waited for the soft click of the door,
a lover's footsteps.

From Saturday on the Scores

In the graveyard, one of you talks
of fire, how the soul must be endless.

from Contract

I will fade backwards into the future
and tell you what I see.

from Moonson Poem

So much of monsoon is to do
with being overcome —not from longing
as you might think,

from To My First White Hairs

Being a woman has its challenges
as you know, and if you're
power hungry, all the more so.

From Evensong

you'll have chanted our promise
of togetherness
repeated it like hollows worn in stone

From Homeland

If the dead could speak,
would they ask for us:

From After the Dance

Those who knew you,
who are still filled with astonishment,
stand at the gate and say, She was everywhere.
