The first two 5 words exercises can be found here and here. Do try all 5 words, it's meant to warm you up so be bold and don't edit. Lord knows I don't beyond striking out a word or two. And today's exercise didn't feel "final" so I know there's work to be done on this, but I'm posting it anyways.
Happy Friday the 13th! Go hug a black cat while walking under a ladder, or something like that.
Possessed, atmosphere, ink, tangerine, volume
Possessed by nocturnal
atmosphere and Ian Curtis’ croon
the volume cranks as the sunset
streaks by like tangerine butter—
let’s spread it thin, make it last
as we whir through traffic-lights
and over streets that wriggle like
squid-ink.

the atmosphere
possessed
with tangerine
clouds,
floating in
volume -
bursting
with
ink.
i run my finger down your tangerine seams
bleeding ink into open wounds
the atmosphere thick with words unspoken
no, my mouth will never open again
not to you
i am finally possessed by the violet strength
to carry myself away.
