Lava
Hot Night
Last
night,
minutes before bed
Thalon told me that Lava burned down
Bill
is charred, dead
Lava
hot night
breaking the silence of a saturday night
with plasma screams
Lava
hot night
goodbye Seed's dog
goodbye space of creation
goodbye possesions
Lava
hot night
Steel and old wood
concrete and beer bottles
engine parts
and paper mache trees
Lava
hot night
glass and stone
sculpture of bone
Lava
hot night
burning tree covered in ash
from art of the past
Now
today
biking to see
with my own eyes
Black
remains
shrouded in a rainbow
as Joe and I watched
The
water above
hot cars next to Lava
steaming still in the cold sun
It's
over and it's just begun
Lava hot night
and cool Lava day
This
will not stop you
art will find a way
A
seed was born
on that Lava hot night, I tell ya........
