El Paso 2019: The Tumblewords Project: A Brief Love
 |
| James Drake, Falling Birds, El Paso Art Museum, Texas. November 2016. |
Born in 1995, founded by Donna Snyder, the Tumblewords Project is a writing workshop that occurs every Saturday at the Memorial Park branch of the El Paso Library. Each week, a workshop leader suggests writing prompts to the participants; the prompts usually follow a theme the leader chooses for the session. Everyone is enthusiastically welcomed. If you're just passing through El Paso and happen to be in town on a Saturday afternoon, go!

A Brief Love
I'll look at you
While you sleep.
I'll touch your sternum, press
Down with the pad of a finger
Like a push of life.
I'll find your pulse, rest
My finger there, and linger,
To absorb your beat.
I'll leave you then.
Push out into
The cold and
Not look back
Because I gotta go.
