Signs & Omens

Mostly because of the colors, I switched the earth view on Watermark to the water vapour view. This is a screenshot from this morning:

Lovely, isn’t it?

Now, I’m not one to see images of the Madonna or Elvis on burnt toast, but consider — with all the warnings we’ve been getting about global warming, climate change, rising seas, hurricanes and floods — doesn’t this make you just a bit uneasy?

Hmmm?

Actually, when I first saw it, I thought it was a case of serous Myringitis with the colors wrong…
But then, I see more Earaches than virgins in a grilled cheese sandwich…

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.
