Listen:

 

be

still

 

 

 

 

I think so
but

never
am

am I
ever

over

Listen:

 

up from a lava flow
long grown cold and hard
this twist of a tree
taunt with a desire so fierce
for so long
so volcanic
if flares into
green

turns
relentlessly true
to itself
seamless, spacious
inside and out
a curve of lips
open
to surprise
