Last Week’s Snapshot

fatigue
has me
deep deep deep

A week that could have been only distressing was quite wonderful. Friends came to help me at home; family came to visit; and readers, unknowing, came to help me at Watermark. When my creative well was dry, readers poured poems into the Crows post — a collection of wonderful observations on our black-robed friends. It’s my favorite post ever. Don’t miss it!

Is there
a moment,where
time stills?
Can I get lost there?
Who wouldn’t want do that, especially after a bad week.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
