Octomeber Day 1 - Darkness

 So... welcome to the month of October. Or, as I've coined it, Octomeber... it was the best book based pun for the month. The plan is very similar to that of Napowrimo in April - 31 prompts, 31 days, 31 pieces of writing. While I do focus a lot on poetry in my writing, I have tried to open up the prompts so that they can be used for other forms as well. Kicking off the month is this one:

1. Using the absence of light or vision, describe the innards of a room or place. 

Hollow

Slow drip of rain against neck.
Wind - a mournful hymn,
whistles through these bones.

Feel the asperous skin
beneath these calloused hands - 
as if they know each other;

trace the rings of this host 
to know the moons its seen.
Hear woodpecker drum out the beat

of the next morning chorus;
feel it echo through - around your skull.
Know nature like your own name.
