A twiglet is a short phrase. Its aim is to “prompt” thought. A memory. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but comments should not be expected.

Brown earth sprinkled
With salt-licks and pepper trees,
crust of soil we’re cutting the pie,
slicing wide open our eyes
bigger than our stomach,
farm to tabla rasa,
I taste, I taste, the skin of the world,
the salt-sweet sweat of your neck.

Oh… new concept tabla rasa: an absence of preconceived ideas or predetermined goals; a clean slate.
Nurture vs nature.

A clean slate could eliminate many decisions by many people.

Apologies to everyone. I’ve been away all week, and had little opportunity to read your work. I’ll resume normal attentiveness this week. 🙂
