This week’s prompt is Ya’aburnee
Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means “You bury me,” a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
To me there is something wonderfully obsessive about this word and it is certainly something I would say. Personally though I’d like to die at precisely the same moment as Sam when we are ridiculously old.
You do not need to use to the word in your entry, you only need to embody it.
Alternatively you can write about this really bizarre photo

you promised me
years ago
that you would let me
go first
you promised
because I told you
that I would
not live without you
there would be no air
to breath
no sun
to warm me
nothing to see
or hear
no bird song
or beauty
no beating heart
inside my body
there would be
no reason to wake
with the light of day
not without you
and yet
I am here alone
death came for you
and left me behind
now I am one of
the living dead
with no air to breath
no sun to warm me
there is nothing to see
or hear
no bird song
no beauty
no reason to wake
with the light of day
my heart is silent
my hand empty
all that is left is
waiting
waiting
until we are
together again

I love these pictures you provide for these prompts! Where do you find them?

Generally I start with the type of art I want: Surreal Photography/Art, Fantasy, Gothic, Abstract and then type in a one word description so I might search for Surreal Art Creepy if I want something dark and unsettling. If in my search I find a particularly beautiful image I will do a reverse image search to find the artist and then search for work by that artist specifically

I will have to try that thank you!

I took the concept/prompt to a darker place, I think.

Sometimes darkness is the only way to express what is in our minds, hearts, and souls.
My dark stuff is sometimes part of my self-designed therapy.

I definitely find it cathartic to write out my darkness
