Hello Wild Walk #writers
(Sorry, I just realised I hadn't posted today's prompts)

Straight from the oven
Soft and fluffy paradise,
Nothing like fresh buns!

Your word today is

#Buns
Use the image/word to inspire your writing.

Autumn breezes flow
Fallen leaves glide efforlessly
Circular motions

"Causes".

"We cannot compare a process with 'the passage of time' – there is no such thing – but only with another process" (Wittgenstein, "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" 6.3611)

1.
The surface gleams dully; I can
smell faint sharpness where the
fluids linger and the thin card
curls, is sticky still.
It's smooth and slightly cool;
it has to be held flat
against the page.

2.
It is a fragment. Of dimensions
two remain (a third sustains
the image, and the fourth is frozen).
Replacing memory – restoring, or
the bringing into being of
what would otherwise have no
existence – one particle of flow,
a harmony alone.

3.
The gleam of sun upon your skin
caught, shuttered, held and
now transformed; the salt of
silver blackened, scarred, and
later squeezed through prisms onto
thin and slightly sticky card.

4.
It serves to move me from
one frame into another.
There is rarely any reason
for the choice of moments —
there is rarely any
choice, in fact.
I steal your scattered
instants for my future use;
I search them out when
instants never seem enough.

to hear your whisper
a voice filled with reverence
at the stroke of three
your lips shape around my name
mistress of your sacred night

Now that I am old,
I've more friends known than I know
as the #dead's roll grows.

supposedly time
can heal if you wait it out
if you have the time
the scars won’t be forgotten
jutting just a bit too proud

WHIM WOOD
Katherine Towers

into the coppery halls
of beech and intricate oak
to be close to the trees
as they whisper together
let fall their leaves,
and we die for the winter
