Word Salad

[Using the following words: Planned, Sister, Blackout, Shortage, Indifferent, Stagnant, Tedious, Island, Marked and Elude]

The Manicure
stagnant waters puddle around soaking palms
still the carefully planned expedition
into humanitarianism.
sister, the tedious task eludes us all
brackish, indifferent to the sufferings and shortages of swollen-bellied children
marked for a slow, bitter wasting- blackout salvation on static islands
while you paint your nails all the putrid colors of the rainbow
engaged in vapid conversations punctuated
by a listless smile
