Volcano

Majestic Woman
Beauty Towering
- covering truth in mountainous bounty
Beneath –
Flows the mystery of the deep
Simmering below the mounds of glitter and dirt
The passionate Throes
Rumble and groan
Crack open
The deep heart exposed
diseased blood?
cuts
uproots
Peace
- fire water rage
The Womb violently banishes the toxins
the pressure
red-hot fire
Burns under the surface flow slow and steady destruction fast and fiery extrusion
- purification through expulsion

Pastry filling – strawberry life/will kill you*

Life
Clouds of freedom release the heat of
Death-Life

Collapse
empty sparse dead
The life-fire escaped
The stirring Soul
Now a gentle dust left on the surface
tame

Only nothing left
A deep chasm the only memory of struggle
Crater of cold barren sorrow
The monument proves meaningless
Life - only a myth
Struggle - the ultimate deception
Life now death
Death now life
Life
- stripped naked
- jagged gray
- beauty in blissful dormancy?
- rest in memory of Truth?
meaningless meaningless angry burning flow cutting cold silence

Life and death in the power of the Pressure
- but nothing means anything
- anyway…
at all
