For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem with (or about) someone (or something) covered. A person could be covered with a blanket or blanketed with darkness. Something could be covered by water or earth or anything you can think, I guess. Or you could write a poem about how you "have it covered," I suppose.
first try: not posted: too personal. will see what happens if I just write.
Cover
little Johnny-Jump-Ups in between the grasses
tempered glass lid steamed. dropped.
bath water sea salt slipped under
book spine. its giving, forgotten.
water then skin
skin then sheet
sheet then blankets three and warming
cover me
the island where he swam to shore
Snow and Moon - the sisters
shadow on the road. fast.
water then skin
skin then sheet then blankets
dark
a brown velvet hand opens my
box of sleep or private silver sea
