Don't use AI to help you write larger texts. Why? AI chooses from a huge pot of input but manages to write in a distinctive AI 'style'. I can 'smell' that sameness leaking everywhere, from which AI is being fed again which birthes more 'sameness'. *SHUDDER* Use your brain and your own style, please.

L'homme n'est qu'une fleur de l'air tenue par la terre, maudite par les astres, respirée par la mort; le souffle et l'ombre de cette coalition, certaines fois, le surélèvent.

Georgia O'keeffe "White Iris No. 7" Oil on canvas

The painting shows a close-up of the delicate, white petals of an iris with a bright yellow center against a soft background.

I tried. As much as a woman with a stomach ache on a Friday afternoon can. I will be reading the rest later.

October Drizzle

I am the line between the pink silkiness of a sparrow's chirp and the cobalt anvil of an owl's hoot. Once a blanket of clouds covers me, I turn into an October drizzle. Then, I seep into the basement of your dreams. Slowly, like drops of navy blue onto the remaining song notes.

Even though you're pulling them shut, the doors swing on the threshold of my low voice and an underground quiet. They're ajar, sliding between uncharted moonlight and your carpeted imprints.

midnight —
settling into the background
of your sleep

Monet n'est qu'un œil, mais quel œil ! Paul Cézanne

Claude Monet: Poplars on the banks of the river epte seen from the marsh 1892

A vibrant Impressionist painting by Claude Monet depicting a row of tall poplar trees with slender trunks and lush foliage in shades of green, blue, and hints of autumnal orange. The trees stand against a bright blue sky with soft white clouds. The brushwork is loose and textured, capturing the play of light and shadow across the landscape. The foreground shows a grassy field in warm tones, suggesting late afternoon sunlight filtering through the leaves. The composition emphasizes verticality and the rhythmic repetition of the tree forms.
