Ice land
Orange and yellow
Crossed black and white
Paper birds made of flesh and bone
Hollow and impossible
Will spend life above turmoil
With a sun that never says goodnight
Ash and lava and basalt
Rivers of rock flowing to the sea
Pyroclastic
Can you feel me lurking below
My fire and life growing to threshold
Flesh and bone crushed against the earth
I am desperate for the sunlight now
