HaikuPrajnaDesecration for/ a sliver of bone. Fragment/ to be weaponized.( Mastodon Carcass )
From a paragraph in “Spear-thrower”. The first draft had Spearthrower equipped to the teeth with stone tools and weapons. In the second draft, Spearthrower has the sense to pillage an animal to make his spearhead. Though, I appreciate highlighting the non-story meaning that could also arise from the above poem; violation to capture a painful part of the victims, breaking things up to transform the parts into harmful objects.
Poetry on, and the first draft of "Spear-thrower" can be read here: https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/p/spear-thrower.html
"Spear-thrower" is the story I wrote for "NaNoWriMo" that I had based on the "Inktober" prompts from 2020; the story and poems will be featured as a future edition of The HaikuPrajna Collection.
The "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" HaikuPrajna Collection can be ordered here: https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/p/sm-sara.html
While I pitch my first novel, "Perennial City", the full first chapter along with rough-chapter previews can be found here: https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/p/perennial-city.html
Thank you for reading.
Until next time,
