"Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer, Who's been waiting on you?"*
I She exits herself on the Sofa. Blanket, dog, and bits Of a poem on a pad of paper On the table, like a half-eaten Piece of homework. Shades of wine on her sleeping Lips. Exits herself; space-walks Outside that frame of mind she's Been expected to hang herself On the wall within; she knows There is more. There has to be more. II She has to be more. Like so many writers, she falls Asleep working. Sometimes Works to fall asleep. Digging her way through Herself, mining for words, Hacking away at painful pasts, Gathering emerald experiences.   Diamond doubts and ruby Regrets all fuel her poetry. And she reads, spotlight kissed;   Audience adored, Goosebump summoning; hairs On arms and necks stand up as She whispers directly to me. About me. Because of me. In front of everybody. To music, and I've brought a box Of pins, and between each of her Every word, I drop one. And I Swear to the gods, you can hear Them all. Like the unsteady Ticking of a clock too cool to Care. III Poetry jewelry; set with stones From her innermost. Chips of Gold from her heart melted Down to a key pendant she Holds in her hand; chain dangling, Eyes closed, forehead resting Against a door she knows it is Time to open. Key in one hand, Pen in the other, She Enters Herself.

A Clock too Cool to Care
*Nothingness always void, There is something in vacuum!* What we called as emptiness Also having something Full with energy and matter! *Nothingness always void, There is something in vacuum!* If it gets the model set it will accelerate Bloom and illuminate! Nothingness always void, There is something in vacuum! In fact by mining the vacuum’s richness A theory of everything may emerge! *Nothingness always void, There is something in vacuum!* Space around everything is virtual When everyone convulse for existence Invisible firework display It is dark energy Take over the dynamics of creation and we are dreaming! *Nothingness always void, There is something in vacuity!* Explore your verve in emptiness Gain oomph to illuminate everything!

Nothingness and theory of everything
A NEW GAME OF BLOCKS AND MINING, I STAND ON A SHORE OF SAND. I LIKE IT; IT DOESN'T GET IN MY SQAURE FEET. I LOOK THROUGH PIXAL EYES AROUND AT MY SURROUNDINGS; THERE'S AN OCEAN OF UNMOVING BLUE, A MOUNTAIN OF STONE AND CAVES BEYOND A FOREST OF BUMPY GREEN. I THEN TURN AND THEN, I SMACK A TREE WITH MY SQUARE HAND. I EXPECT PAIN BUT THERE IS NONE AND THE RESULT IS A TINY BLOCK OF DARK WOOD FLOATING A GAP IN THE TREE IT ONCE FILLED. I STEP FORWARD TO COLLECT IT, BUT IT FLIES TOWARD ME AND INTO ME; I WILL IT TO APPEAR IN MY HAND AND IT DOES. MY EYES GROW BIGGER AND MY BLOCKY SMILE GROWS BIGGER THAN THE PIXELS THAT MAKE UP MY FACE. I RUN AROUND, COLLECTING WOOD AND LAUGHING WITH A CRAZED FACE. AS I CATCH MY BREATH, I NOTICE IT'D GETTING DARK AND I TURN TO SEE A HORRIBLE FACE OF GREEN AND I HEAR A HISSING NOISE. I CAN ONLY CRY OUT AS THE THING EXPLODES, WITH A SICKING EXPLOSION AND A LOOK ON MY CUBE HEAD THAT SAYS “F*** YOU, CREEPER!”

GETTING WOOD: A Minecraft Poem
Chemicals - hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium fluorosilicate Derived from the phosphate mining industry, both considered highly toxic by the EPA These hazardous wastes are dumped into drinking water LIES ... Fluoride - it's so good for your teeth lies the dentist, lies the doctor, lies the politician Lies the dead fish in the water

Portland - Toxic Fluoride - (hazardous waste)
Together we are alone the wishers utter was always unheard the Art of my consort is like ash in the wind  this purified drift of the eternal fire burning for all eternity Timid little shell as fragile as the pearl inside Impurities imparted and manifested into a gem Let me see the diamond  the diamond in your mind I ve been mining with a keen intent to break down the barriers only to be surrounded by the remains Im intrigued by lustered reflections of light in these rays of waves in this passing haze of the delicacy protected by your shell Pandoras box and eves delight only gives me a peek of that iridescent insight Such an elusive emblem of the coveted representative Aphrodite Awakened by impending doom To Cross the threshold of a Careless bloom you turn to me to turn away that I see the Diamond is your mental mineral.

Mental Minerals
Right now, loving you feels the way my toes do when stepping on pebbles (the stones they put on your back in physical therapy) or mining ore - supposed to be cold, but extremely hot to touch. A copper meadow shimmy into a tree so you can look up my dress and catch me like gold armor when I tumble, tumble. One defense, two defense, three defense, four worms with spines as soft as hair try to spindle cobwebs where we skip and hopscotch skeletons dunk our heads in some sea but pickaxes make air pockets, iron is a pillow for us to sleep. The lights cease when you leave no longer nearby is the helmet that exudes site - I think I could mine meteorite from your soul, there’s only demonite in my own. Let’s build a house with it then wait for the bad men to leave, it is night again perhaps they shall be burned by my evil. Shrouded in wood, tucked into a golden chest the walls are a deep purple amethyst, aubergine, build our ceiling some citrine - bunnies swallow the window frame and I cry because somehow it is my fault, I try to jump but I fall. And you open the door, you let in some monsters, how I hate you for a moment. But no bad man can get you even ones who have skin sunken like a dead spider pull out an archery kit seventy-seven arrows, I put them all in hearts leaving one special hook for you Cupid gave to me. We make a great team demonite meteorite silver copper topaz gold-tipped and sterling the vultures listen in jealously knowing this is what love can feel like right now.

© 2009 (Jim Sularz) Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, by wagon, train or foot. Days not all that long ago, in tall ships made of wood. “A gold rush struck in’49, all quite by accident. A burning fever that cut men to bone, in a sea of dingy tents. Day and night, they toiled and tolled, many headed home without a cent. But some packed out bags of glistening gold, and made a stop at "Buzzard’s Breath." "The town’s mud logged street, deep with horse manure, bubbled like a shallow grave. With a Sheriff’s office, a livery stable, and a church for souls to save. And a fancy house, on a grassy knoll – sign read, “Madam Lil la **** With soft, curvaceous ladies who mined for hearts – and gold of a different sort. Didn’t take long before easy gold, was extremely hard to find. And burly miners, tough as steel, moved in to hard rock mine. With bloodied knuckles, dented hats, they blasted at a furious pace. To find the gold, called the Mother Lode, yellow blood coursing through their veins! The mine they worked was called “Long Shot”, the men thought that name a curse. But the miners hankered for the handle, "Buzzard’s Breath”, and the mine’s name was reversed. As luck would say, they held a royal flush, when they hit that horse-wide vein. Of the purest gold, yet to be found, this side of the Pearly Gates. Eyes wide as saucers, they were all in awe, everyone was filthy rich. The miners should have all retired and should have cashed in all their chips. But a man’s hard to figure, when his blood is yellow, and he’s stricken with a gold fever. “Eureka! Boys, *** the dynamite and a whole lot more mining timbers!” They mined that vein to the bowels of the Earth, and the heat increased by day. "Buzzard’s Breath" became the hottest place, to Hell – the shortest way. And then one day, the men never came back. – Hell must have jumped that claim. Of the purest gold, yet to be found – that’s where the Devil mines today!” Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, died a slow and quiet death. Along with days of tall wooden ships, and the ghosts of Buzzard’s Breath.

I pride myself on differences, but know at heart we're all one I tried to do the dishes, but only two knives made the cut. Now I wonder if I can accomplish more than thought possible judging dull wounds in grunting cans; feeling pistol grooves and wrist slitters, I am at home again. Lying, mining, dying figure heads make their way to the foot of my bed, and ask if they may lull me to sleep with dreams of pneumonia and epilepsy. I ask them to politely leave, but they perch on boasting names of society, reciting to me, too condescendingly, "surely, we know better than you." Now all of their heads fit askew. Save the money and excuse for material attachment. Keep running through your doll houses. I pull on my hair to make it grow. You pull on heart strings to teach a lesson, I suppose we're in the same sinking boat. But you are my vital poison. My body collapses- a muted a noise and- each time I awake perfectly poised at your feet and frozen mouth. How will I ever make you love me now? Life's a Hawaii postcard pleading, "go experience the vibrant colors." There's more to see beyond the rainbow trees, but they'll still satisfy most cravings. Every threaded fiber of my being keeps me pondering if cells are just too shy to speak, or if they've always spoken through me, whispering, "scratch to win the lottery." I want to write children's books, and release doves from hidden cages; watch awe wipe over next generation; use my candies as their safe haven. Away this world that have caused them pain- I Am its new name. Affection is a mistress of mine. I still crave her like sunlight. stare into her eye until I am blind She's addicting even after she harms you. I'll keep my heals neck deep in anxiously wading water. til I sing it into deep sleep, its current pulls me under. and I am at home again.

Her Name is Woman ~for Woman~ The body replenishes, even the signs of decay that come for reparation, Positive confirmation her organism survives, alive, tree circles yet measuring time, Till a devitalizing time comes, when, this cellular process concedes degeneration Then the wondering shifts; new facts sifted; now the reckoning is not a calculation of Mortality but of her living immortality; dive to divine neath her black cloaking, reading Wounded word revelations, her own Bible stories, giving nomination to Woman-name The long shadows that her souls excavations cast, costs of her stories individual, Highwaymen robbed her with glass knives but each remaining black hole lights a story, lost, but Burning icy inviting, pulling us into book boxes inside, compost of sheets of composed white clarity Care not that each riddling reference is obliged to be oblique, inexplicit, Woman her name, all encompassing, her views codified in lines of faith, Woman, is that not a mining, and a manifest, of hidden birthing, comforting us in warm shades of Human courage 12/26/18  5:51pm

Today we all gather to listen to the merits(?) of mining the Iron Range Not for iron, but for copper and nickel and other precious metals. Are these metals more precious than clean water? Are these metals more precious than our pristine wilderness? Are these metals a legacy of what is to become of our planet Earth? We have taken the oil and turned it into plastic that cannot be broken down and turned back into nature. We have burned the coal to perpetuate our desire for more and more comfort via air conditioning and heat. We have polluted our atmosphere, melted our icebergs and glaciers Destroyed our coral reefs And now we want to risk the pure waters of our northern wilderness Reaching out to Lake Superior, Hudson Bay, the Mighty Mississippi And our entire planet. Why not keep a tiny part of our planet clean so that our children can say- Look, this is what we once had, this was Eden in our parents' time.

Growing up is finding out the real world is cruel Growing up is finding out what you once knew isn't real Growing up is realizing a movie or fairy tail Growing up is learning to hurt, and learning to fail. Growing up is truly learning how to fake a smile Growing up is finding out your grandfather is a ********* Growing up is finding out your family hates you for something you cannot control Growing up is going to the mines so you can support your hateful family by mining coal Growing up is coming to terms with death Growing up is learning your mother does **** Growing up is realizing your father is abusive Growing up is forever being inconclusive Growing up is pain Growing up is hate Growing up is raze Grown-up is a four letter word.

Grown Up
an assembly or better named a clump of multifarious flotsam presenting its untidy self on a recent passing streetcorner.. a hesitating photo records a drifting pinecone centering a stained and shredding newspaper a broken sharp stick red rocks of scales and shadings flecking dried green leaves.. order imposed by framing and shaping of the sidewalk corner.. might other forms emerge with a focused patience? a partial headline reads ...sound without the wires.. news of expanding connections outside a material realm? headline seemed embedded in thick advertising bulk announcing a continuing culture of material weight.. much else of red and green.. the centering pinecone occasional pineal symbol of higher dimension entry.. somehow rightly here in the dark center of this mess this a brief experiment not yet for most an answer a question now of mining finding patterned varieties in large nature's trove.. patient visions residing in gathered fragments if gathered they be.. expectations of more in what persists of this and that in time...  :)

Across the road A J-K girl, Skipped and laughed On her way to school. She was strapped To a big back-pack, Looking like A pink pack mule. Behind her strove Her drover, Directing her to quarry All the stones of learning. By three o'clock My minature mule, A little slower Trudged from school. The pack was filled With rules and tools. She had panned The ores of knowledge; She'll assay them In days to follow. Each day my mule Will turn the grindstone, Crunching numbers, Sifting fine poems. She's mining all the hidden gems To fill her back-pack Once again.

Mining we do for survival and art.. repeating processes both ancient and modern.. beginnings are quiet seeded by necessity.. badgers dig holes earthen tunnels and paths powerful digging discoveries sustaining of life.. coal miners diggings dark labor below planting cities above.. data mining a technology new in our time computer's patterns emerging never before seen.. startling creation of many new wholes...

Saddle up Gurl! It's time to hit the trail, as quietly & gently I spank the pony- tail, & know, it's how I love you, baby.. You'll see me riding like the wind, spurred on by our time & trials ~ that no-one got to win. We were always mining Fools Gold & giggle indulging every sin! Our Poke(h)er hands stayed empty & the music's... long since died. Your sweet songs done, gone & left me (sobs) tumbleweed rolls by Once we prospected forever in this inky ol' ghost town marking spots with X's before a WANTED sign was found and One Moonshine still ain't big en'f 'f both of us to get our quills thirst drowned (hic- cup) "Look West, and to the horizon, see the stage at the edge of town?" My last performance, PRIVATE, snigger to all the wide-eyed boys around Ace-high, on a barebacked filly, play gallerying all my skills I'll slap my thigh & Yee-haw ! riding for them there hills ~Saddled up in the softest leather Chin up!Deep Breath!Chest out! Corseted & brimming, encased in perfume scented lace ~Bat my eyelids for the masses~ I'll find another place. And then you can cut a swell down Main Street, (remember the brothels to your right) keep your low slung loaded though, for it's no place to start a fight cos just outside that swing (ing) door, the coffin maker winks at such a cheerful sight, stood grimacing in his top hat, grasping 13 nails tight. & I'm sure you'll measure up darling blowing rubied kisses as I bid mine own true-love's heart goodnight. ***HiHO Silver,                                                   away..........!***

You'll see me riding like the wind, spurred on by our time & trials ~ that no-one got to win. We were always mining Fools Gold & giggle indulging every sin! Our Poke(h)er hands stayed empty & the music's... long since died. Your sweet songs done, gone & left me (sobs) tumbleweed rolls by Once we prospected forever in this inky ol' ghost town marking spots with X's before a WANTED sign was found and One Moonshine still ain't big en'f 'f both of us to get our quills thirst drowned (hic- cup) "Look West, and to the horizon, see the stage at the edge of town?" My last performance, PRIVATE, snigger to all the wide-eyed boys around Ace-high, on a barebacked filly, play gallerying all my skills I'll slap my thigh & Yee-haw ! riding for them there hills ~Saddled up in the softest leather Chin up!Deep Breath!Chest out! Corseted & brimming, encased in perfume scented lace ~Bat my eyelids for the masses~ I'll find another place. And then you can cut a swell down Main Street, (remember the brothels to your right) keep your low slung loaded though, for it's no place to start a fight cos just outside that swing (ing) door, the coffin maker winks at such a cheerful sight, stood grimacing in his top hat, grasping 13 nails tight. & I'm sure you'll measure up darling blowing rubied kisses as I bid mine own true-love's heart goodnight. ***HiHO Silver,                                                   away..........!***

Where echos bound off cavern walls Thundering, spacious water falls Giving power to the ember furnace Crafters work with full earnest Our clang of metal forming metal Our  laughter around the stew-filled kettle Lacboring long into the night Carrying lanterns for our light A golden tint in the arenose air A rich man's delight, deep in this lair A cornucopia of jewels and stone Picks and axes spark on the hone Melted metals with tools of the trade Upon the anvil are ceremoniously laid To be shaped and formed into desires By light of the blazing, crimson fires Where we find sweat and danger as one And rarely journey out into the sun Have amity with our fellow men And all write to loved ones with one pen The cavern echos, the rays of gold This ancient house of tales untold To find this place, a costly fee For a way of  escape will never be

A Mining Craftsmen
When biting Boreas, fell and doure, Sharp shivers thro’ the leafless bow’r; When Phœbus gies a short-liv’d glow’r, Far south the lift, Dim-dark’ning thro’ the flaky show’r, Or whirling drift: Ae night the storm the steeples rocked, Poor Labour sweet in sleep was locked, While burns, wi’ snawy wreeths upchoked, Wild-eddying swirl, Or thro’ the mining outlet bocked, Down headlong hurl. List’ning, the doors an’ winnocks rattle, I thought me on the ourie cattle, Or silly sheep, wha bide this brattle O’ winter war, And thro’ the drift, deep-lairing, sprattle, Beneath a scar. Ilk happing bird, wee, helpless thing! That, in the merry months o’ spring, Delighted me to hear thee sing, What comes o’ thee? Whare wilt thou cow’r thy chittering wing An’ close thy e’e? Ev’n you on murd’ring errands toil’d, Lone from your savage homes exil’d, The blood-stain’d roost, and sheep-cote spoil’d My heart forgets, While pityless the tempest wild Sore on you beats.

A Winter Night
Harsh, desert scenery Haven, from lush misery Forced by Impi, so greedily This, our new sanctuary Glitter, in desert sand The cause, of moonlike land No more men, with bow in hand No more happy feet, stamping sand Scenery, violated by man and machine A hole, were last buck was seen Spiritual pickings, now so lean White man’s god, o so mean Before white man’s god, we now bow We ask the spirits, “How can you allow” Is this, the final raw? Are we, disappearing now? After a visit to Jwaneng, a diamond mining settlement of De Beers in Botswana, I was impelled to write this poem to revolt against the injustices being committed against the Bushmen in Botswana. The Bushman are forcibly being removed from there desert land to make place for diamond mining activities.
