dream twins: sweater set and dolomite

sweater set and dolomite 


1.   sweater set


upper body, female

white, or pink

twinned  cleavage...
easily broken, discarded, lost
buttons vitreous to pearly white
white
white to pink


"vast amounts... in the geologic record...now rare"


2.   dolomite


bones
under ancient bristlecone
twinned rhombohedral cleavage
easily broken, discarded, lost

bowels
purged through mining

hands
augmenting horticulture

eyes
float glass
(imagine liquid lens)

bilious petroleum reservoirs


a mineral
found in coral atolls, saline lakes, lagoons and

kidneys
of a Dalmation


3.   sweater set and dolomite



Conscious materials can be
pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed.

The phenomenon of dreaming twinned images,
the separation and reunification of isolate rational things
is not fully understood

But a certain fractious luminescence haunts the darkness
