Distant worlds

The Oracle gave me this cadralor from a selection of 35 words, including a few articles and conjunctions. That’s enough AI for me.

Distant worlds

1.
The wild language of the sea,
one we will never learn,
not the oil-smooth swell or the raging storm waves.
We see a temperamental pool,
unheated, full of intruders.

2.
A cry in the purple dusk,
a red cry-whimper echoes among the trees.
The dogs listen, curious, their gentle eyes hard.
They love selectively,
know nothing of compassion.

3.
Blood on the road, fresh,
and decorated with bright feathers.
The body lies in the ditch,
wings in a last crumpled beat, legs rigid.
Motorist, one with her machine, never stopped.

4.
At breakfast, you spread honey
on your toast, parsimoniously.
One teaspoon is the life’s work of a bee, you say,
and eat, tasting the theft
with gratitude and reverence.

5.
Motionless, the audience listens
in mystic silence, eyes fixed on a vision
in the middle distance, absorbing the musical beauty.
In the trees outside the concert hall,
birds sing unnoticed.
