A shadorama

an image of a highway stretching into the distance that is reminiscent of the cover of an 80s road atlas
AI art created with NightCafe Creator

she kept her
eighties road atlas
by the phone
as some keep
a bible for reference
in the right moment

she was rapt
peering at places
she would not
have ever
actually been willing
to visit herself

she kept it
long past the point where
I often
drove on roads
she could not find…

A cywydd deuair fyrion (no, I can’t pronounce that either)

a greyscale abstract painting in which one may see what one likes, as in all things, but I see a sort of cubist representation of a human heart
AI art created with NightCafe Creator

I caught the throes
the mortal blows
active, vital
suicidal
all is dying
still here trying
fateful, fatal
rockin’ cradle
such grave matters
family scatters
fresh tomb to rob
con job macabre
brush off lethal
like Knievel
dodging lilies
like Achilles
at the graveside
I’m still topside
reaper cheated
undefeated
