(1959. – 1968.)
WORDS AND COLOURS
To take a great sheet of paper from sketching
pad, or a large white cardboard, and draw words
on with ink, then join them associatively and
make a poem.It is possible to draw these words
in various colors. Say the words that would
mark constant, ie permanent symbols in the next
poems are to be colored in red, the others in
other way, their poetical intensity being graded
by the colors at the same time.
A POEM AS A NATURAL PROCESS
To exclude the real world from the poems. The
world of things and the world of beings. To
tend toward a poetry of complicated inorganic
amorphous forms. Something similar to abstract
(non-figurative) painting. An inspiration for
all that is to be looked for, first of all,
in exact sciences. A poem would be identified
with sound and vague picture, of non-precise
contours where objects lose their identity.*The
constant the universal-individual relationship
to be viewed through a poem as a natural process.
THE PLAYS OF MATTER
Matter often sets witty traps to human intellect.
Those are skillful hydra of the abstract language
of Matter. They are a product of its hot temper
and desire for play. All matter is permeated
with a desire for play. That is where the essence
of its dialectic nature is.Various forms in
which the Matter displays itself are obvious
examples of its spiritual games: a special structure
of elements, compounds, aggregate states, the
variety of the structure of the Universe. The
apparent optionality of those games can be a
serious obstacle that will often lead a scientific
and sistematical mind to a dilemma, but by the
same token it can never confuse a poet, his
imagination and sense for the wonderful. A poet
is a player himself and he can accept the game
at any moment. Therefore the key of a final
cognition of the essence of Matter and Space
is not only in the hands of scientists, but
also in the hands of poets.
LINGUISTIC MACHINE

1. THE WORDS ARE CHOSEN AND COLLECTED IN A
SPECIAL CHAMBER. THERE THEY ARE EXPOSED TO VARIOUS
PRESSURES.2. IN THE NEXT PHASIS THEY ARE ACCELERATED.
THEY MOVE MORE AND MORE RAPIDLY IN A GROWING
SPIRAL. THEIR ENERGY IS BEING ACCUMULATED AND
INCREASING CONSIDERABLY.3. FINALLY AT CERTAIN
VELOCITIES THE WORDS GET AWAY FROM THEIR SPIRAL
PATH AND ARE SHOT AT A HUGE SCREEN. ON THE SCREEN
QUITE UNEXPECTED LINGUISTIC AND POETICAL CREATIONS
ARE FORMED GRADUALLY.
DESINTEGRATION OF LANGUAGE
LINGUISTIC STRUCTURE IS MOLECULAR. IN A DEEPER
SENSE IT IS ATOMIC TOO. WORDS ARE MOLECULES
OF PARTICULAR LANGUAGE. THE LETTERS THAT MAKE
UP WORDS ARE ATOMS. MIXING AND JOINING MUTUALLY
THEY BUILD COMPLEX LINGUISTIC COMPOUNDS.
*
RELATIVITY OF SPACE AND TIME IN AN EINSTEINIAN
SENSE ENTAILS ALSO A RELATIVITY OF LANGUAGE.
APPARENTLY FIRM LOGICAL AND SINTACTICAL LINGUISTIC
BUILDINGS BREAK DOWN UNDER THE IMPACT OF IMAGINATIVE
POETICAL AGENTS. THUS FREEDOM OF POEM IS REALIZED.
LANGUAGE DECOMPOSES INTO HIS ELEMENTARY PARTS
WORDS AND LETTERS READY TO CREATE A DIFFERENT
PICTURE OF THE WORLD UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
NEW BUILDING ENERGIES.
*
DECOMPOSITION OF LANGUAGE IS SIMILAR TO DECOMPOSITION
OF STARRY MATTER.
EXPLOSION OF UNIVERSE
EXPLOSION OF LANGUAGE

EXPLOSION OF UNIVERSE - A CHANGE OF THE FORM
OF MATTEREXPLOSION OF LANGUAGE - A QUALITATIVE
CHANGE OF SENSE (MEANING)DISTURBED LANGUAGE
RADIATES LIKE SHATTERED MATTERLINGUISTIC PARTICLES
(LINGUATRONS.....) DISSIPATE IN ALL DIRECTIONS
LANGUAGE – WEAPONS
Wave motion of words in closed circular path.
Complex, intermingled moving of linguistic particles,
of imaginative projectiles. Birth of poem under
influence of starry forces, radiation of matter
and radiation of spirit.
*
Language (words) melts into a fluid meaning.
That is the intangible energy of language that
penetrates our consciousness, arms it.Language
is a basic weapon of man in univers.
SCIENTISM
Scientism represents a crown of Antiromantism
in poetry, of negations of the subjective and
subjectivist, of the poetry based on exclusivity
of emotions and emotional states.
*
Matter and Energy are outside the subjective.
*
Scientism looks with its staroscops not only
into the endless depths of Space and Time, but
also into abysses of Poem and Language.
*
Poem is a galaxy of spirit filled with poetical
matter and energy. In that galaxy one builds
and demolishes by means of creative imagination.*Secrets
of atom - Secrets of poemparticles of matter
- particles of language
LANGUAGE OF SCIENTIST POETRY
Science is languagePoetry is languageScience
is a language of the core and structure of Matter
and Universe.Past poetry is a language of the
relationship of Man and the exterior wrapping,
the shell of Universe.New (scientific) poetry
will be a language of Man, core, structure of
Universe and Matter, as well as of their mutual
permeations.In the language od scientific poetry
we will be able to interpret and decipher better
the nature's messages.
THE RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL
Rigidity of scientific laws must not discourage
a scientistic poet. No scientific law, as well
as theory, and even less so a hypothesis, except
those most universal, can aspire to a distant
future. It can be viewed better in a broader
history of sciences. The changes in those exact
areas are almost similar to the changes in domain
of poetical forms.
*
The most recent interpretations by linguists
teach that language did not originate first
of all as a means of communication but of cognition.
Primordial man gave name to thing in order to
separate and discern it.

*
Realization of a unity of poetry and science
we see, first of all, in formation of a new
poetical language.
*
Scientific poetry relies mostly upon the experiences
of exact sciences. It has object and process
before itself. It is a poetry of object and
process.
*
Scientism will be always in trouble between
two basic ways of learning and accepting the
world - the rational and irrational one.
IMAGINATIVE ENERGY AND SPECTRUM OF POEM
Language and Poem are not an unchangeable and
forever given mechanism, they renovate and recreate
themselves perpetually. In that The dijalectics
of Nature and Matter is almost identical to
dijalectics of Poem and Language.
*
Imaginative energy gathers and holds lingustic
elements as particular poetical totality by
its attractive force. The potential of that
energy is what the number and quality of the
elements will depend on, as well as the strength
of the poem.
*
Every element of poetical totality radiates
its own energy. Semantic length and the strength
of that poetry is different. Radiation of all
elements of poem makes up its spectrum.
*
Although it is multilayered, multiradial and
multimeaning the language of poem is a compact
one. Only with special methods and analysis
we can separate radiations of particular elements.

TRACTATES
ON POEM
Poem as an emotional and intellectual category
does not opposes to Matter. They make up a unity
in their common disrespect of Death.
ON POSSIBILITIES OF LOGICAL AND MATHEMATICAL
ANALYSIS OF UNIVERSE AND POEM
"The Universe is logical", claims
British astronomer and astrophysicist Fred Hoyle,
creator of the most recent very interesting
hypothesis about origin of the Universe. What
can we draw from his claim? First of all that
the Universe is liable to a logical and mathematical
analysis of our consciousness. From this it
follows further on that the discovering of its
essence is possible depending on the conditions
of research and possibilities of theoretical
generalization.Logicality of the Universe is
"higher" in a sense than that we meet
in our daily relationship with things. Irrelevancy
of physical and chemical laws on cosmic scale
has been already proved, especially at the examination
of its origin and essence. Laws are posed and
notions are ascertained that are valid until
certain limit of theoretical generalization.
Then on the basis of those laws new ones are
discovered that eliminate the previous ones.
One sphere has been overcome, one enters a new
one that demands other notions and wider theoretical
explanations for their final cognition.This
"higher" logicality of the Universe
is identical to the logic possessed by our poetry.
As a universe in miniature, the new poetry hides
in itself a cemetery of the already known poetical
and even physical and chemical, and moral and
legal laws and canons. Yet, that hiding does
not help it at all to avoid the ruthless logical
and mathematical analysis of our consciousness.
As well as in researching the Universe, we will
pose new rules instead of the broken ones, make
generalizations, enter new spheres, move deeper
and deeper to the heart of Poem.If in that mathematical
analysis we also asses the energy of its language,
it is very important to determine the number
showing how much the valence of the poet's mind
(consciousness) has been increased in the moment
of creation. This holds if we understand valence
in a broader sense than chemistry does, as an
ability of poet's mind to assimilate different
notions of external and internal world, building
stabile compounds with them, called poem by
us.
ABOUT MOTION OF MATTER
The movements of blood plasma at the timid
orders of reasonable cells are similar to touching
of my consciousness liable to radiations of
certain galaxies, evasive for ambitious lens
of staroscops. The shape of this set of granular
Matter, always changeable both quantitatively
and qualitatively, discouraged by the immeasurability
of Space it exists in, creates new demonic deities
of life.This is that creative process (effort)
of living Matter being yet something more than
a "substance gifted by Form", as it
is defined dreary by Descartes, having emphasized
first of all its geometrical qualities, and
neglected, by his non-metaphorical assessment,
its most significant property, motion (a thing
not to be missed in this case).For Matter is
a motion, an escape from abyss, like a flight
of a night bird conditioned by peculiarities
of its instincts, that bird being not permitted
by the stoic cosmology of its own being to succumb
to the deceitful sensual deception of Space
and to the floral odours of Death being opened
by darkness even in its most innocent moments.
ON TIME UNITS
Time units are lead walls separating us from
the radiation of other worlds. Time should be
identified with death, for it kills imagination
and destroys the logic of common sense. Ruthless
in its eloquent assumptions, it shows to us
clearly our disability in our overcoming the
micro- and macrocosmos.While I stand in front
of abyss looking at stars, in my eye, in the
staroscop, there is a little patch of the galaxy
500 000 light years away. Five thousand years
light travels in order to mirror its source
in my consciousness and leave a proof of our
weakness in relation to Time.Logic and common
sense are completely lost before the horrors
of time distances. Only mathematics is still
able to endure all their weight. By ruthless,
poetical and metaphorical and almost horrible
scenes it measures precisely and dissects the
huge body of the time animal our imagination
has already got exhausted before.
ON COSMIC DISASTERS
I expect destruction of our Universe in fifteen
milliards years. I imply thereby first of all
a change of form, and perhaps also of magnitude
in relation to today's scale, and by no means
also a destruction of its creative strength
of Matter. Matter will be both main bearer and
initiator of destruction of today's form of
Universe. This emanates from the depth of its
dialectic nature. Prone to very frequent, excessive
changes, Matter seldom retains only one form.
With physical processes it changes just externally,
passes from one aggregate state into another,
with molecules mixing, condensing or diluting,
but remaining same qualitatively. With chemical
processes firm molecular structures are being
shattered and atoms of elements mix and join
into compounds according to chemical laws, changing
the Matter qualitatively.Science knows one more
essential and deeper change of the forms of
Matter that is not taking place in molecule
any more, but in atom itself, in fact in its
nucleus, where by changing the number of particles
constituting it some elements are being destroyed
and the other ones created.It has been known
that basic substance (elements) differ just
by the number of protons in their nuclei. If
we take hydrogen nucleus, consisting of one
proton, and add one more of these particles
we will get a helium nucleus. Adding a proton
to helium we get lithium etc. Matter can be
continually changed in this way to the heaviest
elements containing in their nuclei several
dozens of neutrons. This change is possible
only in certain conditions of temperature and
pressure. In order to overcome the hostile electrical
force resisting to allow connecting of protons,
for they are of same (positive) electrical charge,
one needs enormous temperatures and pressures.
Such temperatures and pressures occur regularly
in cosmic disasters.At this moment the Matter
of our Universe is in an expansion. Its conquering
efforts are directed to unforeseeable Spaces
beyond stars and Time. Yet the Energy of its
expansion is not infinite. At one moment the
Universe gets exhausted, almost before the very
goal, having spent almost all Energy, but not
renouncing its intentions it contracts concentrating
the Matter for new conquests. By the concentration
the form of previous Universe changes (that
is where its defeat is), Matter contracts and
condensates, Energy increases. In the condensed
magma of total cosmic Matter unconceivable temperatures
and pressures reign, as a consequence of combined
actions of gravitational forces and thermonuclear
reactions. Under their influence atoms of elements
change continually, giving newer and newer forms
of Matter. At a moment, under the impacts of
the accumulated Energy, this huge cosmic egg
explodes, and the concentrated Matter with a
great élan expands again, building new worlds.
One universe finished, another lasts until consumption
of the concentrated Energy.The defeat of the
Universe I am in and from which I have grabbed
this little Matter, transformed into its most
genial form, the living substance gifted by
consciousness, for its worthless existence,
is my complete defeat as well. For at the moment
when in fifteen milliards years molecules and
atoms, making up my physical and conscious being,
are made formless (changed qualitatively) in
the universal chaos of cosmic disaster and when
after the explosion of all Matter they are bounced
from each others for milliards light years,
also the last particles of my apparition will
cease to warn the Universe that I existed, that
I was horrified at it, opposed to it and threatened
it, I will experience my final defeat plunging
to the deepest end irreversible whirlpools of
Nothingness.
