destinations–
the details repeated,
magnified, untraveled–
living outside
a map
random lines break down–
the page explodes, caught trembling–
from nothing, vast light
The Kick-About poem and collage and Oracle 2 Badger above serve as a prelude to my third Volcano offering at Pure Haiku, which you can read here.
Wowzers! I just love this one!!

You have a marvelous way with words, Kerfe. I did visit your haiku which is also very vivid.

I watched the first episode of 1899 yesterday (son told me to) and your poem reminds me of the atmosphere.
Not sure if the series is any good. I watch so little nowadays that almost everything keeps me awake at night afterwards.

I had to look that up–I watch no TV at all. I think it could easily be applied to either immigrants or refugees.

Yes, it’s the same anxiety.
We don’t have a TV or Netflix and company, but occasionally when one or other of the kids is here we stream something they say we really must watch. The moving pictures excite my neurons too much. Not used to it.

Same here–my daughters will stream a movie sometimes. But by myself? I lack the attention span.

I find most contemporary films difficult to follow. The actors whisper or grunt more than speak to one another. It’s tiring.

I was just reading a National Geographic about the volcano that erupted in the Canary Islands recently and your poems and this collage in particular are fitting right into the mental space that opened. Newness and destruction and life and loss, and above all a connection to shaping on a cosmological scale… You’re capturing all of that volcanic energy brilliantly!
