Human in the LoopJonathan Harrell’s Commonplace Book

A mist sits over the skeleton woods,
Where dead trees lie like bones,
Old trunks like spines—bent, broken,
A tibia, a femur, a ribcage of branches.

A mist lies over the ocean, too.
The wave spray is a misting breath,
Rising from the water, to fall again,
Giving salty moisture to the dead.

A dense forest scene with gnarled, twisted trees scattered across a dry, grassy forest floor. Some of the trees have fallen, their branches adding to the tangled, chaotic look of the landscape. The mist in the background gives the scene a mysterious, eerie atmosphere.
A fallen tree with a curved trunk resting on a dry, grassy hillside. The tree’s bare branches arch across the scene, creating a natural frame. In the background, tall trees rise through the mist, adding to the haunting, secluded feel of the landscape.
A foggy beach with soft waves rolling onto the sandy shore. The sky and horizon are obscured by thick mist, giving the scene a peaceful, almost dreamlike quality. In the distance, faint outlines of houses on a hill can barely be seen through the fog.
A landscape of rolling sand dunes covered in patches of green vegetation. The scene is slightly obscured by fog, creating a soft, muted atmosphere. The vegetation varies in height, with low shrubs and taller trees in the background, blending into the mist.
A concrete military bunker structure surrounded by low shrubs and greenery on a sunny day. The structure has stairs leading up to a flat roof with railings and a ladder. The scene evokes a contrast between the harsh, industrial nature of the bunker and the soft, natural landscape around it.
A foggy forest scene with tall, thin trees scattered across a grassy hill. The mist rolls through the trees, creating a moody, ethereal atmosphere. The branches of the trees are silhouetted against the dense fog, adding a sense of mystery to the landscape.
