underneath crusts crown
lava pushed for open ground
leaves a hollow tube
molten lava flows
the crust cools and hardens,
insulating heat
snow one year settles
now, the tunnels hold ice
long after the surface thaws

I love the visual here.
One of the first poems I ever wrote was called INFERNO. I can tell you're an adventurer who has a profound rapport with nature.

this poem came off as cold and calculating but hell sometimes nature is exactly that, also space is cold and calculating, good job!!
