The closest I got todat was the "transform" family of words.. I like this part, an ode to the element of fire, during a circle casting ritual for the autumn equinox full moon.

on borrowed time
we held the #waning fire
of summer in our hands
painted daisies
and beads of honeysuckle
falling like diamonds
your mood darkening
with the turn
of the leaves
the sweet sorrow
of an angel
fingering the notes
of the chill air
snow drops hidden
in the bone white
of winter

The #storm was picking up. The sparse sunlight began to #wane with the swollen clouds rolling darkly in the late afternoon sky. A wall cloud loomed ominously to the southwest. Dawn didn’t like the look of things & wished they were a whole lot closer to their destination.

#Heavy snow's thrown me deep in a slump.
(Yes I probably sound like a grump.)
Though I know that it's lame
To attempt to cast blame,
By default I shall fault Donald #Trump.

I didn't know
about the moments of quiet in between
the time to reel, to heal, to rest
to wonder what to do next
I didn't realize
how weighty one small event can be
and that the small moments pile up
until more people can See
daily life at an impasse
pivotal moments in History

Firstblood Touch
The grass smelled of bitten pears.
Sun slid its hand along my spine.
Young blood learning language
at the cusp
of the first touch
in the milk-sap heat.
I left myself
in the unmown grass
as evening
licked the fields
raw.

Who read the #vss365 word w/sleepy
eyes this morning? Arrgh!
Pt380
Sonoria was not above using a good #ruse to land a lover in the sack, no more than Dawn’s clan brother Tuska. Dawn, however, was no innocent, not fooled by slick advances. Dawn was a full grown Two Spirt who made their own choices.

Tuska laughed, “Cofi won’t even #notice you with me around anyway! She was just #using you! She LOVES me!”
“Ain’t talking ‘bout love! My love is rotten to the core!” Sonoria crooned low.
At least these guys weren’t boring.
The day’s walk passed quickly enough with this crew.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead
The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

ICE done froze the spigots
