Kashi

Upon flighty arrival
in Kashi I felt myself
sequestered in a clay pot
in sand in some poor
smoky kitchen – kept
wondering when I’d
ever get out of there
again to expand, move
about – kept wondering

    Vivid imagery, Jim. It isn’t easy to be limited like a potted plant.

    Strong imagery – I’m assuming you got out… Nicely told.

  3. This intrigues, and makes me want to read more!

    Intriguing take on the prompt.

    The concept of a smoky kitchen suggests all manner of cooked scents, alien to the the natural scents of the outdoors! Interesting twists!
