left until after dark no friend would sit in those hours so, tell me, what am I a thousand excuses will explain as your actions and words become a hurricane you are always the stillness but my mind reels at the risk taken to be just an afterthought, after dark I can't trust-fall into absent arms or spill my soul then wait for you to lick your lips so, with tender resignation I retreat - just words s c a t t e r e d at my feet with your actions occupying the empty seat

Edward Hopper paintings are phenomenal I agree. Ahh the lines you selected change meaning out of context though. Glad you liked it and thank you for saying it is a fave x

Dear DD, this is so beautiful, how youv interpreted the artwork!! I absolutely love the way youv written especially "what am I a thousand excuses will explain" wow! And "with your actions occupying the empty seat" you have a very unique way with words that stand out! Even AI cant fully imitate your style of writing! The emotions , the cleverness of your phrases and the flow of your lines , all that makes this a fave for me! Im inspired to do an ekphrasis again! Best wishes! Sending you light always

Haha I imagine our whole personalities can be uploaded to AI soon and it'll be indistinguishable! I'm glad in a way that I formed my own way of being a poet without studying poetry. Hopefully, like yourself with a clear style that is your own, that means that our voice as poets will hopefully remain kinda unique for a little longer. Thank you for your kind praise and fave :)
