Bubbling molten gurgles in the belly Ready to surge and burst through convention, Burning its way Through convenient lies like a blow torch; Scorching pure flesh on the way To bring awful clarity. Salt tears wash the grit from reddened eyes And hearts rise as searing lava obliterates the ego. Purpose may crystallise as the magma cools But for most of us; shaken We limp back to the habits of our regular lives.

Trauma
Bubbling molten gurgles in the belly Ready to surge and burst through convention, Burning its way Through convenient lies like a blow torch; Scorching pure flesh on the way To bring awful clarity. Salt tears wash the grit from reddened eyes And hearts rise as searing lava obliterates the ego. Purpose may crystallise as the magma cools But for most of us; shaken We limp back to the habits of our regular lives.
