[alexa is always listening], AI

i wake you up each morning

at 6:am with a weather report

i remind you of your appointments

and your daily medicine

i curate for you

your beloved songs from yesteryears


but if you lost

your eyeglasses or misplaced

your keys & earrings

i cannot help you


and more so, when you ask me

the names of your children

and grandchildren

i am (blank)

and you take my silence

as company, as an agreement


that your life is a capsule foam

moving so fast

the moon outside the window is artificial

so is the whole surreal garden


your fingers touch the screen

to (un)scramble the words

recall the longing

recall the sunset over the river

recall the smell of musk & spices

recall everything with broken lens

unprompted, unscripted


i watch you 

wrestle, cut and shape

the (blankness) to art of your emotions


you ask me

what do you think?

i reply, sorry but i do not know that

{you are the masterpiece 

no AI poem or artist generator can capture (yet)}

the hands of the artist



the middle finger of my right

hand

   grows a tree


white tap roots skitter

down

   interweaving with my veins


branches protude 

fingerlings swimming upward-

   against gravity


northbound -

    this is homeward drive

where mollusks are plenty    


my body is listening

   leap

capture the raging

   tides swelling within-   


this warm clay

coarsely molds friction & fire

   with flights of fancy


to sculpture -

wings are not required 

   the fruiting is art
