The Call
crouching down is he
his words are pincers
that sink down
puncturing my skin
my world polished
by the ventricles
postering within
the body as the
movement pursues
and draws me to
the pain as if
tempering the child
within with the
threat or call of
punishment for
a prank uncommitted

CARD DRAWN:
KING OF WANDS
THIS IS THE TAROT CHALLENGE, a 78-day writing challenge where everyday I pick out a random card from my tarot deck and write something about, against, inspired by, based on the card by the day’s end. The works can range from poetry to fiction to drama. When the card is from the major arcana, the title of the work should be the card name. When the card is from the minor arcana, the title can be different but the card drawn should be revealed at the end.
