just cook my children

      eat, drink, sleep, cuddle
      sometimes I wish
      I was my cat

      My ink drawing of this cute kitty is also available combined with this lovely haiku.

      Haiku: @MarjoleinRotsteeg

      eat, drink, sleep, cuddle sometimes I wish I was my cat Sweet dreams is a minimalist black and white ink drawing by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute kitten lies sleeping on the floor. It seems to be smiling and having sweet dreams. This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku). A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines. Here the ink drawing was supplemented with the haiku in English

        wildfire haze clouds thought.
        when it lets up, let's fix this.
        what if it doesn't?

        A view of a bleak, hazy, white-orange sky with a sun that is muted and has a visible corona, scattered by the haze. Hills are barely visible as outlines in the distance. In the foreground, a flag flies at half staff, presumably for an unrelated reason, and yet it contributes visually to a sense of foreboding or mourning in the scene.

          “PLEASE USE AI” — poem by Joanna Atkins-Potts

          Source: hxxps://www.instagram.com/p/DZaR5o_iKNy/

          PLEASE USE AI Please use AI when your mother dies. Ask it what grief feels like. Let it explain bereavement in twelve clear bullet points. Do not spend years finding her in the supermarket by the tomatoes she always bought, in the smell of rain on warm pavement, discovering new ways to miss her.

Do not spend years finding her in the supermarket by the tomatoes she always bought, in the smell of rain on warm pavement, discovering new ways to miss her.

          Please use AI the next time you fall in love. Ask it how to know whether someone is the one. It will give you a faster answer than watching a person become familiar, learning how they take their tea, which floorboards will wake them, how their silence sounds when something is wrong.

It will give you a faster answer than watching a person become familiar, learning how they take their tea, which floorboards will wake them, how their silence sounds when something is wrong.

          And please use AI for your wedding vows, your eulogies, your apologies. Why struggle for the right words when a machine can give you beautiful ones? Words untouched by shaking hands. Words that have never sat beside a hospital bed. Words that have never known the terrible privilege of having something to lose.

          Meanwhile I will be over here watching someone I love fall asleep on the sofa, the television talking to itself, rain tapping the windows, the dog twitching in her dreams, wasting my life on these small unremarkable moments that become, without asking permission, the whole thing.

              Interstellar sugar dust
              Send me by rocket, if you must
              Need to lick up the sweetness of space

              If you can fly around oh my

                  Fluttering chances burn
                  beyond the age of dignity,
                  to slush and then to turn.
                  What can we seek? What can we learn?

                  We dance in debasability;
                  we rip the beauty from the fern.
                  a receptacle swallowing mountains down to the sea;
                  we drift the fire which is free;
                  waters only play, hiss, churn.
                  Everything lacks in life memory.
                  We bend, we move, we change the knee,
                  the phantom dances rhythmically:
                  we change, we err when we attempt to see.
                  We crumple, a night held by reason in reasonless unreasonability!

                    I'm no patriot, won't fly no flag
                    You've taken that away, and it's a drag
                    Used to proudly fly the Red White and Blue
                    til they told me, buddy, it's not for you

                    People gave their life, but not for a king
                    But you've gone and changed it, that's the thing
                    It's a country for brown, black, yellow, white and red
                    Any color of skin, that's what they said

                    But now they're telling us you don't belong here
                    Just a country for white Christian racists, I fear
                    So I'll keep the flag folded, in a drawer in the den
                    Til someday maybe, it will come out again

                                              my lifetime spent on
                                              a painful pilgrimage to
                                              the next place to sit
