M’s writing prompts for March came with the following instructions:
“…set your timer for ten minutes and begin writing about one of the prompts listed below. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, neatness, or anything like that; just write!”
Let us see what I can do in ten minutes…
Wincing, eyes blinking
Afraid and never thinking
Using, abusing
just cover up the bruising
aching, shaking
giving never taking
violent, silent
need to be compliant
pretending, never ending
in time the flesh is mending
beneath covers, lost lovers
from this he won’t recover
