As prompted on Malaysian Writer's FB:
Write a piece of micro-fiction/essay/poem in English or Malay (between 50 to 150 words) CONTAINING ALL of the following words, in no particular order: DARK, APPLE, HEAVY, CANE
The apple of ambition's eye has
rotted; back bent and stooped,
leaning, heavy, on a second-hand cane
from the store down the street.
Where are your words now?
The ones you gilded with fool's gold
have rusted. The curtains have fallen,
and the stage lights are dark with disuse.
They said you can live forever,
but only if someone cares enough
to bury you in their memories.
So tell me: who will remember you?
