john greaves, peter blegvad, lisa herman - nine mineral emblems lyrics

i am your quarry, your mine
mineral emblems define sublunar love — here are nine:
(1)
adamant is a hard stone
harder is being alone, your whereabouts unknown
(2)
i feel an attraction for you
just like certain metals feel for lode
(3)
inconstant selenite waxes, wanes
you are my delight despite your tendency you do the same
(4)
as carbon will become diamond when pressured
so we come through love to realize our maximum
(5)
when there is mirth you’re the salt of my earth
the perfect condiment
when there is strife you’re the spice of my life
a vital aliment
(6)
clay is an old cliché meaning flesh —
it all blows away
so let’s enjoy the stuff while it’s still fresh
(7)
mica reflects the light of another
is in itself incapable of corruscation —
lovers beware!
(8)
when heated, scolecite lengthens, squirms —
not unlike the worm which looks for lodgings in a pearly urn
(9)
phosphor’s citron glow is barely bright enough to show
the macle of our love —
(two crystals grown together)
