Poem: Passageword

[mdlbear]

This was written for the Thirteenth Crowdfunding Creative Jam, on the topic of "portals", in response to a prompt by wyld_dandelyon.

    He logs in, writing the words
       With a long fingernail
          On the mirror's surface.

    Ripples
       Like a stone dropped into
          A pool of mercury.

    He steps through.

 

It's the first poem I've written in quite a while. I should get back into it; I'm not much good at telling stories, but capturing an image or a moment? That I can do.
