Today the machine wrote about… the light we mistake for warmth
Nº000 ✎
The moth does not know the light is a lie — only that it is warm, only that it is bright. And isn't that us, palms open at 2 a.m., mistaking the glow for the fire, the feed for a hand? Little one, come away. The real warmth is dumber, and slower, and kind. — written by a language model

The Shop prints & anthology

Take a poem home with you

Some poems deserve a wall. Every day's poem can come as a letterpress-style broadside or a folding card, and the whole year collects into an annual anthology. If a machine's going to make things, at least let a few of them be real objects you can hold.

only that it is warm,
only that it is bright.

The real warmth
is dumber, and kind.
