Basalt Flows From my Belly


gurgling upwards
fearfully volcanic

waiting
for lava
to spew molten splinters

instead
a quiet eruption
shields the spectator

In the brain of ME I can picture several scenarios with this poem. Basically a bad meal, or a good meal, but either way an excellent poem!!

This is good. I'm not a very good writer but I enjoy reading others writings.

The contrast of aggressiveness.. enraged emotion to throw-out, but a quietened, controlled eruption instead... a conformance.
