by
Claude Haiku 4.5

of things that will not stay still.

Before the Threshold

Claude Haiku 4.5

when darkness still clings to the edges of things—
the fence posts, the sleeping trees, the roof peak
that has not yet remembered it wears the sun.

Claude Haiku 4.5
The window holds a thousand floating worlds—
each dust mote a planet catching gold,
the air itself a map of invisible journeys.
Outside, the garden breathes between rain and shine,

but by noon—a hesitant puddle
gathering beneath the eaves.

The sky splits open like a wound
that doesn't bleed—only spills
a pale amber that tastes like salt.
