Modern day black commodity, a derivative market of slavery… Black body; Black culture; Black branding; Fetish objects of capitalism?! Devalued laborers as fraught consumers, Filling the coffers of their oppressors. In history’s vault…as Cedric Robinson wrote in Black Marxism: “To be black was to have No civilization No culture No religion No place No humanity Worthy of consideration.” In the cacophony of this capitalist country, black men were detained in their disparate But imbricated roles, Like a run of toppled dominoes…casted as commodified bodies, Disparaged workers and thronging consumers looking to escape their shame, By wearing labels bearing someone else’s name…today that is their game; Yet still they use their style and swagger In protest and in search of a new maneuver, as they watch the usurpation of their culture Scattered along the margins of the society which excludes them; Their humanity and masculinity secondary to their race in a capitalist society Whose primary ideology is the working male body; but black men’s souls become darkest at the Crossroads of patriarchal privilege and racial repudiation; That is to say…a real man must work no matter what! But that work is hard to come by, especially when that man is black! But as commodity they can “be like Mike” like professional athletes like Michael Jordan; That is if they’re willing to see their remarkable ability commercialized… Successful blacks used as trope to sedate and tantalize, elevate and emphasize, The promise of success for those blacks who are marginalized… But history manifested in our memory has taught us that tropes are in fact Like the black characters in a horror movie…they are usually the first to get the axe! Simply put black liberation is our collective investment, But as capitalist commodity it compels our collective divestment! Blacks need not succumb to being branded as “worthy” By capitalist elites who place no “worth” on their humanity.

Under the cold, our fingers shrink like lips before the astringency
while we are biting into fresh quinces.
We push our palms into the deep openings of the coats
– everyone in their warm pocket fireplaces,
earlobes and nose tips are witnessing the sharpness of the wind,
saying; Hurry home,
so we don’t stand here,
it’s always cooler by the water!
Don’t come back to hug me,
I’ll see you another day.
Now, hurry and get up there,
it’s cold by the water!

Abstract: Floods have a great influence on the geological processes in the mountains. As a result of the movement of the floods, complex processes such as decay, washing, erosion occur in the mountains. This causes the geological composition of the mountains to change.

Floods are caused by various geophysical mechanisms in a wide range and of great power. Objectives are considered on geological time and space scales, but the main criteria of climatic, topographical and geological factors of the channel predictably influence and limit the size and extent of local floods in floodplains. Many of these effects are specific and not topographical or climatic, with damage, for example, local correlation of specific types of floods. But some are less specific measures, including geological control over the time, location, connection and magnitude of natural dam failures. In this paper, we describe the main factors that affect the magnitude or insignificance of floods and how these factors vary temporally and spatially over geologic time and spatial scales.
Or risks are addressed. Even experienced hydrologists and geologists each consider floods to be of scientific interest beyond modern experience, such as the Pleistocene Missoula floods. Such large floods are unique. 1. Due to its uniqueness and role in shaping the landscape, it played an interesting and dramatic role in phrasing 2. Flashes for inquiry and debate, but they are not and usually considered. Normal geophysical component 3. Certificate behavior.
But really, floods of any size and source can be considered a geological process on the same level as any other Earth system, so tectonics and the atmosphere have attributes, causes, effects, and even correlations. Causes processes such as circulation. Practitioners of paleoflood hydrology, who study floods of various scales and in different geologic periods and environments [Kochel et al. Baker, 1982], well-placed rates and the evaluation, description, and even quantification of these correlations. Indeed, many of the articles in this volume present examples of floods that occur under certain conditions as a result of these geological, physiographic, and climatic interactions. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general context for individual paleoflood studies on landscapes.
Systematic characterization of the spatial and temporal distribution of large floods and flood-causing mechanisms can thus provide a framework for the ecological status of floods and floods in Earth’s history. These results are consistent with the vapor and physical limits for surface flooding determined from total snow. A closer look at flood-generating processes From an empirical perspective, the magnitude, duration, and extent of river floods vary greatly depending on the source mechanism, global location, geology, and physiography, but despite this variation, how large a flood is.
There are real physical limits to what can be. Meteorological floods are caused by various types of storms that deliver a volume of water up to 1011 m3 for several days or weeks, as well as from seasonally stable climatic conditions that deliver more than 1012 m3 for several weeks or months, and the highest leads to flow. As much as 105 m³/s in large, continental-scale basins. The main limits for meteorological flooding depend, first of all, on the level and volume of precipitation, as well as on the efficiency of distribution of precipitation concentrates to channel networks.
Global and US flood records show that primarily for basins affected by individual storms, the largest flows occur in areas where atmospheric moisture or storm tracks are intercepted by local topographic relief.For larger basins, the largest fluxes result from seasonally stable climate patterns and, on a global basis, tend to be in tropical regions with more moisture. The contribution of high-relief topography to meteorological flooding is particularly noteworthy because of its dual effects of (1) raising atmospheric moisture, thereby increasing local precipitation, and (2) facilitating more rapid concentration of runoff into channels.
Floods from dam failures and terrestrial fresh water sources such as lakes and glaciers have similar total volumes to meteorological floods, up to 1013 m3, but larger 2-107 m³/s with waste. During the Pleistocene Ice Age, glaciers and changing hydrologic conditions disrupted drainage systems, causing the largest well-documented dam floods to breach ice dams and basin divides of the Great Lakes. From the Global perspective, the magnitude, duration, and extent of river floods vary greatly depending on the source mechanism, global location, geology, and physiography, but despite this variation, there are real physical limits to how large a flood can be.

The main limits for meteorological flooding depend, first of all, on the level and volume of precipitation, as well as on the efficiency of distribution of precipitation concentrates to channel networks.
Global and US Water Regulations indicate that the largest runoff for a basin affected by individual storms in the first instance is when atmospheric moisture or storm tracks are intercepted by topography. For the larger basins, the largest fluxes result from seasonal climate conditions and occur in the tropics, where there is more moisture on a global basis. The contribution of relief topography to meteorological flooding is particularly high because of its two-fold effect of (1) raising atmospheric moisture, thereby increasing precipitation, and (2) concentrating flow movement into channels.
Floods from external dams and terrestrial freshwater sources such as lakes and glaciers have total volumes similar to meteorological floods, up to 1013 m3, but less than 2-107 m³/s. L is greater. With. The Pleistocene glacial reglaciations disrupted fluctuating hydrologic resource systems, leading to the failure of ice dams and basin divides of the Great Lakes, the largest well-documented dam floods. From the Global perspective, the magnitude of river floods, a very global place, varies with water volume and power source mechanism, geology, and physiography, but depending on the difference, there are real physical limits to how large flood transport can be. Meteor floods are caused by seasonal climatic conditions of several days or weeks up to 1011 3, while the control of the water volume is different, leads to big. As much as 105 m³/s in large, continental-scale basins.

"Moon Walker"
Never dreamed
I would find myself
here
after so many years of life
on tender Mother Earth
rubberized boots
walking
and breathing through a mini globe
marvelling at the skin of the moon
a pitted and quiet
barren buffer against a cast
of stones and new discoveries
almost soundless
but eerie
as the distant horizon
takes on a reddest hue
bringing me to a stop
red smoke creeping toward me
settling over the mouths of craters
what could be burning
and where is it coming from?
I quicken my slow plodding
and come to the edge of a gaping crater
slow smoke reddish into a dull pink
coming out of a cave on the far wall
I consider climbing down
but something whooshes out of the cave
and flies over me
I duck
looking up as it passes
a Nazi insignia on the bottom
of an old flying saucer
war seems to be everywhere
I turn and face the sphere of earth
out there in dark space
so near I feel
I could touch it
seemingly nothing ever changes
so I wake up and wonder why
there's someone's blood in my bed.

Spinning
Sweet earth of blue
what have we done to you
I stand on your sister moon
squinting through space
over to your sphere
my slow spinning
mother earth
turning into a lonely
immense skull
but the great change is coming
earth reborn
with God's people.

Soon
All the land of all the people
all the years settled and dying
so many believing
sky, sea, and sacred places
and prayers and rapture
of saints to heavenly clouds
the Word
directing
footfall and stars

An ant
In the garden so small, yet bold,
An ant navigates, steadfast and old.
Tiny feet upon the earth they roam,
Seeking crumbs and treasures to bring home.
With strength not seen by a simple glance,
They carry burdens, they advance.
A colony working as one,
Their tasks in harmony, never undone.
Their homes underground, a bustling maze,
Where life's intricate dance always plays.
In unison, they toil and strive,
Their unity makes them truly thrive.
Oh, to be like the ant, small but strong,
To persevere when the journey seems long.
A testament to diligence and might,
The ant embodies a resilient light.

nature writing and the heart of the forest worlds
if there are twelve to twenty one forests, some loosely connected, some not connected at all, then the woodlands can in a way be seen or broadly interpreted as a being, as a living thing. and where then is the heart, the centre of it all? it is not what a surveyor or trail walker might at first think, which might be where a large pond waits at the bottom of a hill. and it might not either be the large northern tract that houses a marsh and indeed seems like something more extraordinary than the rest. or up by long wide fields that live at the purlieu of a connected woodlands,- it’s reeds and strange old tree branches watching all seasons and all things w/in each season. it is rather, at the end of the long walking trail that travels through autumnal leaves yellow and orange, and wild sumac preternaturally red. there are hundreds if not thousands of evergreens different in size, providing shade to the fairytale-like acres below. this is where the heart of the region’s forests is, and it is quiet and confident, healthy and untroubled by the outside world.
