Apache Tear - Apachenträne in German - is the name of a nodule of obsidian rock made of volcanic black glass. - The name "Apache tear" comes from an Apache tribe legend from the 1870's.  

Near the township of present day Superior, Arizona, around 75 Apaches and the US Cavalry engaged in a melee.  The outnumbered Apache warriors faced imminent defeat - rather than be captured or allow the US Cavalry to pick them off they chose to ride their horses off the edge of the mountain.  They did so, to their certain death.  Upon hearing of this tragic turn of events, the families, wives and children of the Apache warriors shed tears that turned into obsidian stone upon hitting the ground - these stones are Apachentränes - the Apache Tears.

For my Mother Liliana Tademar... 

The Mediating Stone… “Tis better to die on your feet than to live forever on your knees” – Geronimo 

  The day of the sun has passed without a nod, God sleeps Streets of Los Angeles are empty, the Cops are out I drink a pint of coffee and watch as a bum weeps Being ushered on by the uniformed tyrant shout

I am the mediating stone – a bond between runes My stone is obsidian nature, I am the new moon I am the arbitrary pebble – darkness at noon My Apache tears are the soul’s wind over the dunes

The thunder giants hurl rocks from the sky eagerly Hollywood stirs uneasily at the night queries I walk the sidewalks dodging emptiness expertly Mental calisthenics and a dozen Hail Mary’s

I am the mediating stone – a bond between times My stone is ebonite nature, I am the dark tune I am the illogical grain – nighttime when dawn chimes Electrostatic embedded in the end too soon

The wealth possesses the rich bleeding their greedy minds California is the end of the golden railroad Those who come here are caught up in the cheapest of binds Dreaming jackpots of success while they are bought and sold

I am the mediating stone – a bond between signs My stone is black onyx – my nature a hidden breath I am the capricious find – drop the sense of my lines Discarding with abandon chance at valiant death

Men have only the rights that they can defend, and win The stone is the night, the moon asks now for my pardon I fall to my knees, shake a pathetic fist in sin The mediating stone cracks, God wakes up “Get up son.”
