A fine riff… I like that way of doing links, attempting to make everything approach the condition of art. This one seems likely to turn into a poem.

Sure, borrow away! I was just feeling guilty that I hadn’t used this material in a more creative fashion. But I figure Via Neg readers don’t need to see a poem every day.

Jarrett, Peg – Thanks for letting me know that this worked for you. I guess I’ll have to try it more often, instead of simply posting links to the sidebar.

I really like this blending of fact and emotion. Mind if I borrow your idea? It seems both beautiful as a craft form, and therapeutic as a response to crises.

I like the random connnected/disconnectedness of these – the hardening heart, the brittle stars, the oozing threat from the ground, the sea foaming, the chromatophores, photoreceptors, and rainbows. The hardened crystal lenses on a star, and seeing one’s hardened heart. Spooky and beautiful. Thanks.

Hmm. I was ready for this to be a poetic chain of newly discovered facts in the manner of the "Findings" section of Harper's, so when I hit the first person it felt like an eruption of methane. But I hear you reaching for something powerful here, and hope you keep reaching this way.
