A Month of Writing Negative Space Poetry
Prompt word: strange
I.
Somewhere Else
strange, this hospital
where hallways whisper,
clocks tick
and lick away time.
a white cane.
an eyepatch.
the slow pace
of feet
in this
somewhere else.
II.
Clock Face
for some
a clock
is time.
for some
it ticks
and ticks,
and nothing more.
