Literature Text
As the embers extinguish
A graveyard of trees remains
In the bleak silence
A living jewel searches
For a nursery
And from the ashes
A new family settles
New jewels to raise
Life is easily snuffed out
But it can also give more

October, and the
sky is on the ground again;
boats on a small sea.

early nights
only in sleep can I speak through the static stretched diaphanous in fact it's just the mind plays tricks out of habit and I'm old hat (love) I know that but the flame's unextinguished each distant star still being mapped . unskinned (I remain) a torch longing lit and adoring

the greatest poem
The greatest poem I’ve never read is lying in a notebook somewhere, probably in Bangladesh, written in a language I can’t speak by a person I will never hear. I’ve never seen it nor heard of it because this person doesn’t know what they have and no one knows to dig where a mosaic is laid. And in the silent space that poem leaves I tremble. I ache, like an untouched woman. The greatest poem I’ve never written is lying in my heart right now, it's gatekeepers grief and shame. It’s there because of emotions I can’t give names for fear of unlocking too much and it all flowing out like a broken dam. You have never seen flood; you have not known storm. And in the silent space that poem leaves I cry. I bleed, from my fingers and from my palms. The greatest poem that never was must be in a dead man’s heart, or a woman’s, and I think of hiring grave robbers and a necromancer but the past is a torn sheet that can’t keep us warm. Although, some things can mend. I think I could revive this

Natural forest fires may cause a lot of destruction, but creatures from the natural world take advantage of the aftermath. Jewel beetles, also known as metallic wood-boring beetles, lay their eggs in burned wood. They even have the ability to detect infrared light, allowing them to better find forest fires.
