In the voice of a modern poet
Rapidly write a haiku about

Murdered and scalped in 1676
By the justifiably enraged Saget of  the soon extinct Narragansett 
Near what is now 
Providence, fee and fi
the bones of an Englishman
Buried under Hamlet’s mill
Lost when it blazed across heaven
A century later
Radio-waves raised from the ashes
▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ 

AI responds:

A pilgrim's bones lie
In ashes, but the spirit lives
On in the airwaves.

With another electro spasm comes:

Forgotten by time,
Englishman’s tale still echoes,
Haunting radios


I respond:


Helped or hindered
The mill still burned the real bones
Turn to peat
As the Super Intelligence
Soon owns our withered souls 

Can we bare it all or even see 
the burning of our own fragility?
The millstone falling off its frame
Will we be justifiably enraged?

Oh look, a bright red cardinal …
Blinks across the screen,
full of life and wonder, 
a new pole star 
of broken dreaming
