Analysis of Lithuanian Jewelry
Reserves of the Baltic,
translucent yellow, opaque black,
sit patiently in museum cases,
mold stubbornly to the carver's touch,
wait quietly in peddler's carts.
Succinum, spotted
with golden flecks, holds
ancient insects in its belly.
Jurate's tears, cries entrapped
by myth's whipping waves,
become baubles of
deep bronze hue.
Petrified resin,
thick Marmalade colored stone,
finds itself near the clavicle
where bone greets bone.
