The prompt: Title your poem, “Self-Portrait with ___________” and start writing from there.
Self-Portrait with Paper Flowers
a black rib, ribbed to cradle
each blossom
red crinkle
yellow husk
these ribs hold words in my chest
& paper clipped against my bones
a language meant for calling out
to the world how big
our hearts are
