The Octahedron's Question
Eight faces I keep, yet I show you only three.
Turn me, and I lose count of myself.
What am I, that grows by being misread?

i. crystal
ii. riddle
I am older than the language that names me,
louder when unspoken,
heavier in pockets that hold no coin.
I crack the lattice when you finally guess --
and yet the lattice was always mine.

Twinned Pyrite, Singing
We are two who refuse to be one.
Strike us together and we deny the spark.
Yet listen close -- our quarrel keeps the light alive.
The Hopper's Mouth
I grow inward, hungry for my own edge.
My open faces are wounds I refuse to close.
Solve me, and you have only made me hungrier.
Fluorite, Scanned
Cube of cubes, born violet at midnight,
I split into eight before any blade descends.
The riddle is not what I am -- but who taught me to break so politely.
Quartz, Reading Itself
I am a stack of mirrors that forgot which one was first.
Each face insists it was the original guess.
The clue is the argument I keep having with myself.
