By Gregory Berg  Image Created in DALL-E - an AI that generates images from text Not a watering can, a drip torch.
Same metal shape with balance in hand: 50/50 gas and diesel. Slight tilt, fuel to wick, steady drizzling fire. Benzene soaking leaf litter, roots, fungi. Optimum conditions for the mosaic burn pattern. Generations of nest, now kindling. Little roasted voles, red sizzling berries, smoke in the eyes of a lumbering dove. Homes of bark and stem, burrows of duff turned to ash. Thirteen million square feet at Aztec Springs. Six hours without refueling. If the world were turned upside down, rabbits would be falling into fire.

Just wanted to mention that the image above the poem was created by an AI called DALL-E. I prompted the AI with phrases from my poem and then kept iterating. The final image has 4 million pixels. The AI made all the decisions on each pixel-- colors, shading, and composition. It was guided in this by a human (me) who gave it poetry. Much thanks to Carol for publishing the poem and the image!
