I love it when writing becomes its own call and response, when a prompt is only the beginning of how to consider a story, and we have the courage to revisit the fullness of an experience in both terror and delight. Thank you for sharing both of these poems ~ I look forward to revisiting them.

PS what poem inspired the prompt?
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. We read "Why I Like the Hospital" by Tony Hoagland.
