short forms 15th December 2016

dismay
the racial slurs
scrawled over her dad's house
reveal his reclusiveness
White trash

glittering night
the neighbour's Christmas lights
broken glass

lapsed fever
illness-induced nightmares
finally fade
Enjoying sweat-free sheets
I oversleep

plough on
find a reason for prose
and write it down

worry about the plot later
that's what editing is for
and superfluous words

just have a vague goal

She's lesbian through choice, not trauma.
