Mid-Journey——
at the border,
the officer looked up from my passport.
"Your destination?"
Behind him,
a barrier lifted,
and another country opened into rain.
I almost told him
my problem instead.
Perhaps some journeys begin
when we can no longer tell
the two apart.
旅の途上の国境で、係官が旅人のパスポートから顔を上げました。
「行き先は?」
その背後で遮断機が上がり、雨のなかに別の国が開いていきます。
旅人は危うく、行き先ではなく自分の抱える問題を答えそうになりました。
もしかすると旅とは、その二つをもう区別できなくなったときに始まるものなのかもしれません。

#WriteMap 593
Map a meaningful event or issue from your past, present or future. All writing forms are OK (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, etc.).
Prompt (optional): PROBLEM
Knuckles bore
teeth marks
curved, crooked
dark..
Each #problem
pushed,
swallowed
without a whimper..
Enroute greatness
turning muscles to steel,
only knuckles remained
imprintable flesh..
Pain marked its entry
on gatekeeper knuckles,
~a souvenir
to be framed later..!

.
a taxi with three tricksters
races across the causeway
'cause of a cause at court
twoandahalf hours later
the car speeds back
carrying only two crooks
guess what’s their problem
#WriteMap 592/3 cause/problem
..in the middle
some names little backstory
even the title sucks
you have a #problem
the writing fairy agreed
ate the last doughnuts
and downed his coffee
"must go refill the wand"
and with a tap vanished
left me covered in sprinkles🙃#writingcommunity#writemap 593

#WriteMap 594
Map a meaningful event or issue from your past, present or future. All writing forms are OK (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, etc.).
Prompt (optional): SUNRISE
You couldn't close your eyes
unless you held my hands
before sleeping, every night.
You left long ago,
my skin still remembers
the way you used to hold me.
My hands still reach
for you out of habit,
only to find emptiness.
Every night, they return defeated.

Prompt (optional): CAUSE
It was announced at the board meeting that absenteeism at Almoral schools was around 25 percent.
The number stunned the directors. This was a #problem which had snuck up on Almoral because nobody thought it could be that many kids.

Prompt (optional): PROBLEM
Welcome days that weary not
nor engage the soul
from fear for gain
Gather moments that build up trust
strengthen hope
flow with love
Repeat again each #action bold
that forms a bond
through adversity will #hold#WriteMap#poetry
