Good riddance to last year’s
flies
the burning up of snow
was ignored, unmourned

I light up
sleep outside the sheets
scrounge for something clear
to put on

Recognition & compensation
have stayed far away
& maybe for good

But this hill goes on
climbing
throwing me down
just until I get the escalator
built

J.D. Harms 2020

Prompt:

Write a poem, or any other kind of writing, using the word support; it doesn’t have to contain exactly that word: your piece might use the concepts or attributes of the word. Tag me in it (J.D. Harms). You can either send it to this publication or make it a stand-alone piece. If you would not like to send it to us, make sure to leave a comment below with a link to the story.
