At The Window
darkness has settled
I cannot help but think of her
a moonless night

Written on May 1st, 2024. Visualized by DALL-E and Microsoft Designer. It is an extremely simple poem, which, strangely enough, I am particularly fond of precisely because of its simplicity.
The trick of the poem is to make great things seem small—in this case, the night, which is only briefly mentioned at the very end as something incidental. Yet, in reality, it is fundamental. You have to see it yourself, ideally from your own window, on a special night. That’s the magic.
serene, quiet, still, calm, peaceful, tranquil, silent, ethereal, mysterious, dark, cool, distant, vast, endless, solitary, timeless, shadowy, soft, pale, delicate, reflective, dreamy, haunting, meditative.
When you gaze out of a window into the world, especially into nature and darkness, it changes your perspective compared to being outside yourself. This view from within creates a unique frame, a boundary between your inner sanctum and the vast expanse beyond.
DALL·E is like a digital visionary, taking your wildest imagination and transforming it into stunning visuals. Whether it's surreal dreamscapes, futuristic cities, or fantastical creatures, this AI prodigy turns simple text prompts into breathtaking art. It’s like having an artist in your pocket who can bring your daydreams to life with just a few words.
For some time now, I've also been sharing visualizations of my poems here, created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). This is a new approach for me. My own graphics have always been more like a frame or backdrop to stage a poem, with the poem itself being part of the image. Now, however, the content itself is transformed into an image.
