Eruption
Dormant for a thousand years
Then one day the mountain erupts
Exploding in a thick cloud of black smoke
Burning ash and molten lava
So too
Deep in the heart of things
Festering beneath the surface
Years of bitter resentment
Anger and hatred
Explode in a moment of violent fury
Like the mountain
Dormant for a thousand years
Before the volcanic eruption.
