It's the 2026 Poem-a-Week Challenge (This is a *poems only* thread.)

Am I A Replicant?

Sometimes I feel like a replicant
Collecting photos
And memories
And uploading them into
The ether

Enhance…

A memory on my phone
A summer flower
Yellow, floppy petals
Echibeckia
Warm breeze on bare arms and legs

Enhance…

The pinkest daybreak at a low January winter angle
Against a chimney
Backlighting pink smoke
Eight degrees

Sometimes I feel like a replicant

Collecting photos
And memories
That are mine
Will they be passed on?

Wondering why I am compiling them

Am I real?
Sometimes too human
Sometimes not enough

But here I am
Collecting photographs and memories like a replicant

You can call me Al
