Dusk

Based on Randy Baker's Prompted #5 Challenge (my second entry):

Where is my mind? Quietly,

I consider the Pixies lyric (yesterday,

I saw it in the penultimate scene; time

After time – another lyric – I think of a rhyme

(no luck with my search).

*

I’ll try again: it is a beautiful night.

It’s an inspiration for any writer: the sight

Beneath me on the page, the punches thrown…

Am I involved with this challenge at home?

Am I just a complete unknown?

(Too many lyrics!)

*

One moment of distraction leaves me open.

Guess I should not talk about it…hey, wait…

*

Words used: night, sight, moment, quietly, yesterday, free, home, unknown, rhyme, time, open, search, beneath
