Tin Roof Rusted
A record sun on a cornflake morning,
corrugated, the roof: a goat horning
could fly away but chooses to stay
and call the faithful to pray
| to kneel under rusted tin |
for runnels of rain to drain in the furrows
of fields running past horizons
on display, all that the ruminant surveys
with her television eyes recording.

kosmos when you add,

air, fire, water,

O

Tetractys,
the divine key—

Antarctic Forest
Crop Version | Cover of Nature. V580, I7801. 2 April 2020: McKay, James
Fossils of cretaceous forest
found in Antarctic coastal core:
warrants artistic flair foremost
to model the data purest,
else evidence remains dormant;
roots in the core; pollen and spores.
In Antarctica before snow
rainforest moistened swamps below.

My hope is that the illustration will inspire people to find out more about our ancient climate and how it can teach us about the climate change we are going through today.

Václav Levý
You only rejoice in something if you crave it on your own.
— František Matouš Klácel —
Version | “Devil’s Heads”, rock sculptures by Václav Levý near Želízy: Karel Liebscher
Son of a shoemaker
seeking a carpenter:
more lucrative carver ?;
to ground a weird sculpter.
Get thee to an abbey:
cooking on Dresden fire.
Digression failed to drench
the fires flinting within,
ember remembered in
sandstone relief motifs
of fox fable, snake, and
massive mugs of massif.

Beacons in the Galaxy
A cadre of international scientists plans
an updated transmission to extraterrestrials:
binary code beamed by waves of radio
[universal across all intelligence levels];
mathematica simplex: zero/one, black/white, yes/no—
and this is how the message ran:
– Bases, binary and decimal; prime numbers + the largest prime
– Mathematical operations |add, subtract, multiply, divide|
– Most common elements |carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur|.
– Deoxyribonucleic structures
– Solar system’s position using globular clusters
– Physics of particles
– Algebraic articles
– Earth composition and characteristics
– Different trademarks humanistic
– Position of Earth in solar depiction
– Geographical survey
– Exponential operations
– An invitation to reciprocate

Not the first intentional heavenly missives;
a century of casting out unintentionals—
just reaching the shallows: not even a nibble.
Hello from the children of Planet Earth.
