like blood from a stone
words, forsaken on the tongue,
become ash and bone
I was inspired by two challenges today. FOWC offered up FORSAKE and Fake Flamenco’s November Poetry challenge gave us STONE. Visit them both for more inspired words.

Floating (Again)
In honor of Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I re-offer this piece of flash from November 3, 2018!
Lucy stared at the board. Letting her mind drift back to childhood. Chin resting on the table. Watching her grandfather play. Try too hard and it went fuzzy. Like a picture with the autofocus off. But if she just let her brain float sometimes she could recapture that moment of joy. When it all made sense. When it was fun. Before. Before she was a novelty. Before she was girl genius. Intellectual heir to Hawking. Right down to the chair. But today it remained fuzzy. The timer ticked. Counting. Days. Weeks. Months. Years. She stared at the board. Floating.
