The bat pressed
its paper-thin ear
to my collarbone
and listened
for the heart
I had hidden there.

Abyssal Self-Portrait

I met my other body
where the blue began.

I said:
I have been trying
to become more human.

It said nothing,
which is how the sea speaks
when it is being honest.

Its arms moved through me
like old thoughts

Abyssal Self-Portrait

I met my other body
where the blue began.

It had no bones,
only weather.

One eye, dark as a locked chapel.
Eight questions
unspooling from its face.

Painted this collection of leaves, flower fragments, and seed pods over April and May.

Some were faded, insect-eaten, curled, or spotted with age, which made them far more interesting to paint.

@russellcrowe Like Lord of the Rings

[Quillshadow @Quillshadow]

The underworld isn't dark but flooded.

A journal-style meditation about a zebra and pomegranates.

I like the thought that the underworld might be luminous rather than ruined.

What colour is grief
under water? 💙

What if form isn't a boundary but a passage?

A celestial fish swims through her,
dragging a moon in its wake.
She is nearly water now.

She was not born so much as poured, from a river that remembered colours before names.

Each year, on one day only, she awakens and remembers. A lyric story of Mary Magdalene - witness, mourner, and creature of the forest.

We walk root-bound roads—
your hand burns like weathered stars
in the dusk of me.

The Forest Became Them

The forest called, and they became,
One with the soil, a silent flame.
A thousand voices merged as one,
The darkened earth beneath the sun.
In every branch, in every stone,
The forest whispered, "You are home."

I Gave Him My Cloak

He did not ask.
The wind cut through his steps
as he walked from the edge of the sea.

His skin was pale
and peeling.
His eyes did not settle on anything
for long.

He did not look like a prophet.
He looked like a man

Almost (a poem after Anne Carson) written in collaboration with ChatGPT + Claude.

[Quillshadow @Quillshadow]

Once a creature,
a velvet gecko perhaps,
mistook the sky for a door.

It climbed it.

No—
it kept climbing
when climbing failed.

It was a natural
step.

Flattened itself into prayer.
Or pressure.
Or—

God, being distant,
did not answer—

only left fingerprints

inside its hands.

Inside. Not on.

Now it lives there,
between yes and

no, not even that—

Learning

how far a body can go
without

Fish
or forest.
The categories resist.

@umesh_ai Tried this and went down a bit of a rabbit hole with it (especially with animals). Really cool prompt 👏
