Profile: Mendelevium is a highly radioactive element (number 101) which is named for Dmitri Mendeleyev, a 19th-century Russian scientist who is credited with developing the periodic table. Mendelevium is not found in nature and there is no use for it. A MagusbyJohn CiardiA missionary from the Mau Mau told me. There are spores blowing from space. He has himself seen an amazing botany springing the jungle. Fruit with a bearded face that howls at the picker. Mushrooms that bleed. A tree of enormous roots that sends no trace above ground; not a leaf. And he showed me the seed of strange lettuces that induce languages. The Jungle has come loose, is changing purposes. Nor are these vegetations of the new continuum the only sign. New eyes have observed the constellations. And what does not change when looked at?--coastline? sea? sky? The propaganda of the wind reaches. Set watches on your gardens. What spring teaches seed shall make new verbs. A root is a tongue. I repeat it as he spoke it. I do not interpret what I do not understand. He comes among many who have come to us. He speaks and we forget and are slow to be reminded. But he does come, signs do appear. There are poisoned islands far over: fish from their reefs come to table, and some glow in the dark not of candlelight. A windhover chatters in the counters of our polar camps. A lectern burns. Geese jam the radar. The red phone rings. Is there an answer? Planes from black ramps howl to the edge of sound. The unknown air breaks from them. They crash through. What time is it in orbit? Israeli teams report they have found the body, but Easter seems symbolically secure. What more is true? How many megatons of idea is a man? What island lies beyond his saying? I have heard, and say what I heard said, and believe. I do not understand. But I have seen him change water to blood, and call away The Lion from its Empire. He speaks that tongue. I have seen white bird and black bird follow him, hung like one cloud over his head. His hand, when he wills it, bursts into flame. The white bird and the black divide and circle it. At his word they enter the fire and glow like metal. A ray reaches from him to the top of the air, and in it the figures of a vision play these things I believe whose meaning I cannot say. Then he closes his fist and there is nothing there. (1965) Where in Hell are you going? Take the Dante's Inferno quiz!
