Volcano

Volcano


Taffy red,
Hot molten candy-

Like gum chewed,
overchurned-

you snake through the cavities.

Idle below,
then rise above like orgasm

Inside out of others swallowed whole,
Trees, town and foil

Mineral makers, ancient life creators’,
Wombs of mother earth.

Slow but sure you creep-
To those doors,

Then lick the steps, the walls and albums,
Clear off their slanted stoop~

When you come,
We feel your pain; yes we feel your pain-

This gift of feeling felt.
We learn.

We remember-
What was forgotten.

What we've never known, never thought,
we watch

it blossom into new knowledge-

I want you now
I hate you more,

You will never know how much I envy you~
How much I adore-

Your power of presence,
In taffy

candy

Pools of ruby

No soul
can

ignore.
