Valid World

I am Vesuvius
I persevere
I hold my breath
Save you from the fire
Compassionate monster
Destroy yourself
Choke on the hatred
You spare the world
I grow strong, I grow tall
I’m a living wall
I’m not frail, I can’t fail
In my valid world
I am strong, I am tall
And I’m sick of it all
And I’m tired
So tired
I hold my breath
Save you from my fire
I am Temblor
I persevere
I hold my breath
Spare you my rage
Not a word is true
This place not of nature
It’s all fantasy
Empty poetry
