Missive To Yul
Through and through your liquid whole
Your magma rumbles
Beyond control
One day the smoke and ash
Bellowing at the sun's rich light
Will come to a narrowing
Where the vent
By your convulsive activity
Is choked
You will see me then
The way I always am
Blistered, barren, scarred
By other's wrath before
And yet forever flowing
Around the paths
The liquid fire cooled to dam
You will know me
Without the lies and pollution
Poisoning my purpose
And realize my distilled silence
Is the power behind
The catclysm of your eruption.
Watch me change direction
Frolicking towards the sea
My love unchanged
By the ravages of history.
