Blankets made of ghost


A first post just to get things going. Here's a prose poem that I wrote based on a prompt for the COW workshop a few weeks ago when we all could still do things like meet face-to-face in a small office.



Blankets made of ghost smother dusk to minimize infection or prevent twilight from spreading, keep night from outside, absorb dark to protect. Ghost blankets suitable for use in kitchens, cars, ships, warehouses, bedrooms, gas stations and libraries to reduce infection. Wrap a child or baby when escaping. No expiration date. Hang on a nail. I wrap my brother in smoke which is a ghost. I wrap my sister in smoke which is twilight. I wrap my children in fire which is a ghost. I wrap myself in ghost as we escape. The lawn around us on fire, the roads on fire. Ghosts everywhere on fire.
