Meltmedown

I have fifteen gold trophy’s glaring at me.

Awaiting their demise, a fire blazing,

Volcanic meltdown of poetic beauty.

I need one more trophy to add to

this collection, to awaken the ancient spirits

of HALEAKALA standing ten thousand five

hundred feet.

Feel the sweetness of suffocation's steam.

Rivers of lava hungrily feast upon

each word, line and verse.

Release to me, an eruption of bold power

and humility.

Meltmedown.
