Find a heart
Leave. Leave. Live this life
Beating leaves in the autumn
See this moment. A landscape
Imagined life. Fantasy. With you
Loving you. I can’t say. Satan
A hematite stone on your path.
Loved you. Only you. Silver walk
Last way. Be on the side. Evil’s
Feel a hand. I am cold. But you love
Bring lives. Invisible. Lights. Ever moments
Suffering. I can’t forget. Following past
You are memory. Mine. Just walk. Drop heart
Find. A heart with pain. Filled love. Dried heart
Bloody life. Clean heart. Beathing death. Can’t find. Breathing
I love you, take you. Delete me. Save lives. Live them
Near you. So far. Live a heart. Loved you. Thousand moments
Lost. Past. Loved a woman. My heart. Dried life.
Just walk. Remember. Loved a walk. Get and drop my life
I love you. Still. Alien heart loving you. Need someone
Stop. You. Go. A heart wishing you. Don’t want to miss you
I love you. Always. Forgotten desire. A poor guy. Hoped life
Save me. Be my love. I respect you. We are far. I love you
Save
Find a heart

The Nature
Nature. The parents. Life giver and keeper. Thank you
Thank you, what? What are you saying? Could you say?
Yes, my life. Yes, Nature. My phenomenal home. The only
The only? Where is nature? The Nature? In your room?
My room. This is a place. There is no room for my only love
Then? Where is she? Maybe in the attic? She's up, you're down
Yes, but to be down is a hidden heavenly wonder. Bright hell
So bright, I see. You are a glossy hematite. Mineral stone
I am only a carbon compound. A grey stone. There is a lot
There is only one. The pinnacle of carbon compounds is…
… diamond
No, I am just a coal rock in an abandoned mine. I don’t have a life
I am your karat. The Nature. Just follow and walk the path. Stay
I want to walk in a different land. But in the same way. An exotic world
Just do, your way is the end of my gate. Step in. There is no way
I understand
Crown your karat
Love you, Nature
Nature loves you

Seasonal flows are flowing
in sequence to a seasonal
warmth
A satellite hoovers like
a distant cloud
in an atmosphere which is neither
might not support
or which has not been seen in many days
microbial species within the salty brines of
Jezero's Crater
talks of yesterdays
the only planet in the solar
system to be inhabited by
robots
facting and gathering
while scientist do there part
Parts per million
the itchy hands of
prospectors
found Hematite
to awaken the greed of man
the desire to extract and own
makes rocket maker say
yes we can
they consort and collaborate
to create a suitible
place to exsist
Mars the planet closet
in size
there might be large
Gold feilds

Should malachite bemoan
The diamond's luster
When the diamond could
Envy malachite's color?
Does the pearl cite
A greater metamorphosis
Than that of hematite
Though both be lustrous?

The professor carries me into his science lab and washes me off in the sink.
Dang! This water is cold!
“Granite, feldspar, a bit of hematite,” He says on Monday, explaining me to a class.
He does this over and over with many classes during the week.
I scream “He used me to kill his wife!” but no one in college speaks rock.
“You are an evil professor!” I yell at him.
No one hears me.
So I keep his secret in silence.
Angry as hell at him.

I remember shooting marbles during recess time.
There were puries, tiny worlds of milky blindedness.
Big heavy steelies, bearings from salvaged, derelict machines,
Hematite cores of some new known planets.
And cats' eyes with color-filled center swirls.
I horded them in a sweat darkened leather pouch.
A drawstring puckered shut this purse's mouth.
Sanctioned by an adult playground guard:
Risking all for a marble that you want,
You might lose the marble you liked best.
Until marbles everything was
A sideshow midway carnival arcade
With plastic ducks you paid to overturn
And received a prize of a number underneath.
Everybody won.
Years count fewer and fewer ducks
And more and more the marbles grow. (8/3/22)

Once I saw, father was drawing a cave of the Altamira.
Still, there is so much light in this darkness!
He said.
I saw a bison was emerging with the drawing-line
And more to follow
In an unknown cave in northern Spain,
I could see the wonder of a constellation.
You never went to the Altamira caves.
But now you can see
He Pulled my hands and painted red And pressed on the wall of the cave.
My hand-prints were
Like countless primitive humans
As if hematite started flowing within mine
An indomitable wild smell around
Wild animals roamed freely but in herds.
In the forest and on the wet ground
In reality, I was alone and victimized
If ever by landslides
The cave path was closed
Yet here everyone was allied
Humans and wildlife, humans and others!
Then suddenly I saw
A divine triangular light had fallen on his eyes
I thought that father was Jesus Himself
The church bells started ringing like a dream.

An animist believes there are living souls in trees.
I agree without any kind of extra persuasion.
I already believe the stars and faeries have souls, right?
And the moon and the sun, and lakes and meadows light.
What of sandstone, malachite, turquoise, opal, you know their souls linger.
Totally God-made, diamonds definitely have souls on the right person’s finger.
Topaz? Emeralds? Sapphires? Hematite? Granite? Shale? Yes, of course.
Let’s not forget the animals, the pig, the cow, the lamb, and the horse.
What of places – Stonehenge, in particular? Jerusalem for sure.
What of thoughts – the good ones that make you feel kind and pure?
What of families, and school communities that show you love?
Souls are all over the place, sprinkled here from the beauties who live above.

The paint recalls, layered and petulant, groans
mindless in its ground, it decomposes.
Granules of hematite, pale traceries of gypsum,
the crevasses of cave wall are soot soothed.
Layered and petulant the palm of man appears
charcoal dusted, amongst the antelope and bison.
Do you hear the drum’s call, the hollow
wail of bone flute, the slap of bare feet,
the drone of chant?
Red-lead or orange crystalline roars atop
the gummy white in Pharaoh’s tombs.
See the deathly desert and the blood of power
as it paves the way; ochre, gypsum,
copper blue, groan mindless in its ground.
Do you hear the drums call, the hollow
wail of wooden flutes, the rattle of the tambourine
the clink of bell, as bare feet dance entranced?
Decomposed, composed, each grain
calls to mind pale traceries of the ages left behind.
Soot-soothed, charred coal outlines the faces
of God and man upon the walls of time.

i wish i may i wish i might
kiss upon a star tonight
meet a girl who does it right
feel super with no kryptonite
healthy like a vegemite
she gets me hi i hit the heights
no violations to my rights
flying like a stringless kite
return because shes outta sight
rerun for that nick at night
cut the chase we laugh and bite
i catch her when i hit the lights
spin her like a metaknight
dreamland so we better fight
making truth my appetite
sting lingers from my latest flight
empty opposite of tight
like swallowed sticks of dynomite
ride or die that is my type
no going back once started like
the silly way typewriters write
hearts and minds will reunite
my heart once made of hematite
stays broken like some urbanite
wonder if i heard her right
hard to hear well worded lies
when no nerve and nervous might
postpone the light for certain sides
service sized assurance glides
soft to land no meteorites
loving till the end despite
leaving me dry with wounded pride
