See it now
A new light
In the back of her throat
Etna’s gorge
Strange the sulphuric laces
Tying up the nose
She spits unseen globs of fire
Stick to the ear
Burn later when alone
Emptied of adrenaline
How she glows tonight
The inner sun god
Waiting in the pillars
Holding out for worship
The seething of it
Of not wanting it
Really wanting it all
I lie, say ‘suck me in
Melt me till I am no more’
A lie I cover with my tongue
In the many geysers of my head
Blown from existence
KAPOWI am hidden beneath layers
Of igneous held fast till the next
