Prompt #443: Raw life
“Think of an emotionally charged situation that you witnessed or participated in. (e.g. birth, death, argument, sickness, new love, etc.) The power of these situations is to do with the cycles of life, birth, growing, dying, death, and regeneration what I call “raw life”. Take some time to re-encounter, reimagine, and relive tangible details of the happening: the surroundings, scents, sounds, sights, touches, or tastes. Take two “images” that seem integral to, or sum up, or suggest, the situation.”
Weary sunken eyes
Emaciated body
Awaiting spring
