My Poem: Manqué: Gen
Title: Manqué
Rating: Gen
Number of Lines: 8
Prompt: manqué
‘I still expect to see your name in print,
in letters bold along unbroken spine.’
Like a lottery ticket that been scratched
until the winning numbers are long gone
or a phoenix with lungs so full of ash
the laws of flight and rebirth surrender
my modern telegraph can’t STOP relay
the odd disgrace of a something manqué
