TIERRA VOLCÁNICA / VOLCANIC EARTH
A mist arises
as the hot breath
of the air,
as the fumes
of sacred prayer,
as the fog
of transcendence,
as the streams
of crying water,
as the smoke
of black earth.
The darkness
beneath the skin
of firm magma
appears as
puddles of ink,
igneous
and blackened
by the passage
of fire.
Ancient wrath
is formed
at the heart
of the stone,
its ashen origin
at the eruption
of light.
