the Herkimer Diamond goes on a 'shroom trip

“There is knowledge you cannot acquire without loss." - http://www.crystalvaults.com

fluid inclusion, trapped in seclusion

crystallized in the bowel of the earth

delusion of perfused collusion

filling my belly with mirth

 

this exclusion of inclusion,

the key to my rebirth --

with the illusion of reperfusion

to my mind, I immerse

 

into an extrusion, a contusion

I dive headfirst --

a transfusion of optical illusion

an unquenchable thirst, I am submersed

 

headfirst

 

I burst

Author's Note

“There is knowledge you cannot acquire without loss. If you pierce the Enhydro quartz to get the liquid, you destroy the crystal’s uniqueness and power. Trying to get the ancient liquids and their knowledge and power destroys their crystal and mixes them with the mundane.” - http://www.crystalvaults.com
