A Volcano
A Volcano
Rich brown loam,
Earth worth farming,
Plants grow
Luscious clusters of fruit.
Calm workers
Hoe their hot sweat
Into the ground,
Blessing it with tears of hard work.
A plane drones on overhead.
5 tons of steel slicing the sky,
Disappearing behind the cotton ball clouds
Filling the air with a resonant hum
Then
The ground rumbles
The world shakes, shatters, shears
Itself
Into hard, hot, heavy pieces.
The mountains erupts
Spewing out
Raining rocks, a roiling rapid
Of lava.
This
Is
A
Vocano
