raze your name is dumortierite quartz.

i have a piece of amethyst somewhere, a part of my childhood i've carried with me through every house i've lived in, forgotten but not lost. it's nothing like you. you're a thick, heavy cylinder. the darkest, deepest blue. smooth as polished glass, except for your face. your two faces. each one a latticework of stalactites in miniature. each one a world i can hold in my hands.

i can stare into your soul. can you see into mine?

unhinged i carry a pouch of crystals made out of a repurposed sari in my purse. all good energy is welcome.

fungi, especially mushroom forming fungi, digest their food on the outside of their roots/bodies enzymatically and then absorb it. they literally break down rocks into smaller component minerals and then trade with the trees they partner with, minerals for sugar.
