"Optimism was advisable to wear"

My recall withers
The deeper my mind wanders
Into the dream-realm.

Memory changes;
The more you revisit it,
The less real it is.

Keep the door open
Stoke the fire hotter, then
Leave me to simmer.

There was a young prince
Afraid to ask for favors-
Successor failure.

"Illicit labour"
Is what they said in whispers.
The truth was darker.

A swan, unlike man,
Can fly at any moment.
Master detachment.

I just saw a video of a music producer basically saying “Don’t fight AI. Sell out & use it.”

As it is, we creatives wage war with algorithms, having to sacrifice earnestness for clicks.

I’m a human. My output will always be human. We shouldn’t have to pay a price for not being a robot.

This particular
flavor of existence tastes
like rotten pipe dreams

Hello Bluesky!
Today's #messyhaiku

"Silly me" said mind.
"Mighty brave" said my heart space.
'Give it up" said god.

The air was viscous
Breathing in the detritus
Of a world on fire.

The babies,
Their bodies
Stopped breathing;

Their soot
Covered lungs
Closed eyelids.
Ive seen them--

Bodies buried,
By armies.
Immoral, unforgivable
Murderous memories

Sleep silently
Beside me...

I can still hear Hind.

At a certain point we realize we’ve created a self—and a world— that doesn’t make any sense. And we could do it differently.

That’s where the Dharma starts.

My mother's last moments,
Separated between two breaths;
The one she took last and the one I took next.

Said the cricket to the grasshopper:
Dear chap, you're awfully small,
but stridulating with one's legs -
it just won't do at all.

Grasshopper said to cricket:
Oi.
You sing your way, I'll sing mine.
That's wot makes a summer beautiful.
Try listening sometime.

Empty your satchel.
In every small vessel, there's
A gift to be found.

Save to watch later.
(Too early to see horror)
First, bread and butter.

Breath is relentless,
Let it overtake & you'll
Hyperventilate.

Erato's lyre
tamed Pegasus from heaven;
Devotional love.

Not a mimic, nor
siren, singing men ashore;
She's an undertow.

I've driven over
Mountain passes, and under,
To leave my lovers.

Inside our ribcage,
We defend our beating hearts
With every breath.
