Poem - Volcano 9.27.11

Volcano

Listen to me
When I tell you
That this Passion I have
Must come out
Somehow

If I cannot be direct
If I cannot share this
Outpouring
It must flow around
and about
and encompass

I must stand up
and tell Everyone
without telling them
Your Name

I must paint the strokes
of these feelings
without distinguishing
Your Face

But it must come out
Somehow
all of this burn
all of this liquid fire

Because I can no longer
Keep it in
Under the Dark
Deep
Cracks
of Uncertainty.

- HB 9.27.11
