A Garden Hose (Video)

This is part of a collection of poems accompanied by an AI generated illustration as a response to those poems. In the collection, “A Super Collider of Zigs and Zags” by Brendon Behlke, each poem was submitted as a prompt to an AI art generator and produced the artwork on display. To view them the way ancient peoples would have viewed them, you can order a copy of the entire collection, over 100 poems and art pieces, releasing on November 18th 2023 here: https://www.fontainehousepublishing.com/product-page/a-super-collider-of-zigs-and-zags-by-brendon-behlke

A Garden Hose

Cast aside hastily

          it snakes through dirty blonde grass
useless now.
          The black

       graying
        the green
                    zombified.

           It makes shapes that remind me

           of ice skating.

                     some hidden magic
          in the slice of ice.

I could turn the spigot

                      only a few feet away
and bring to it a life of purpose,

                   but then            

all meaning it has would be sacrificed
                  to those that already spend their lives in the sun.
