13/30: Celestite

 

Celestite

 

The veinous interval

Sun splits the trees

The air becomes celestite

We are solvent

Finally

What now to do

but cook these skins

We won’t need them where we’re going

 

 

8/30: rose quartz

rose quartz

 

Aureole threshold

is totem

Three rosy smooth stones

 

Fibrous & generally stable in ultraviolet light

One is found or one finds oneself

 

Irradiation forms dusky hues

Rock crystal asterism

My terminal bud

 

In each hardness a prism or vein

A loathsome pustule

A bubblegum center

 

A dichroic future of bilateral symmetries

Our stars pulsing under the skin

 

 

4/30 calcite

 

calcite

in the cavities i’m colorless

hot like a rotting tooth

i become new forms

concretion among the fading druse

vitreous as cut glass

i effervesce

but how i fracture

is witness

to all that petrifying

 

 

 

3/30: chalcedony

 

chalcedony

the gentle subtlety of true light breaks

arrests then aggregates radiating

how the glow extends to us despite our faults

 

crystal life system your gap symmetry a balance of victories

moss agate, the nacreous imagine, stalactite, a petrified wood for lovers

how you hover as forms

in the interstices

 

warrior, queen

your magnanimity

a wonder seeking air

 

 

2/30: Aurostibite

 

Aurostibite

 

i’m not radioactive

there’s a horizon over my grimace

lead grey no gammas protuberant teeth

the sonogram catches my gravity

 

diploidal i’m a star symbol a fracture among the shimmer

my crystal system two Ty fighters on the wind

a metallic streak

 

Au get off my diaphaneity

What I lack in sulfur I make up in cell dimension

666 – mark of the beast

Good luck finding my cleavage
