Do you want to live on a lava
field
thats what a voice asked himnot a
voice that he recognised not one that emanated from him
there were voices he heardparcels
of himself that were aroused by particular moments or happenstancesvoices which
he sought counsel from and heard out their reasons
voices he argued with and raised
his voice against when they forgot themselves and had raised theirs who he warned stridently they best not become too full of themselves dare not press him unsolicited the quickest
way to lose his confidence
for the most part they were
respectful
as yet there hadnt been a voice he
gagged or censureddeafening himself to their audio frequency
this was a new voice Do you want to
live on a lava field
he was circumscribe attentive
he listened for more
maybe it was audio graffiti
taunting once
unrecognized
he couldnt tell if the voice was
masculine or feminine
pungent Do you want to live on a lava field
did it accuse him that he wasdid
it ask if he wanted to
lava
field
of course he knew what a lava field was
though
hed never been to one
never thought
to visit one
stop
he had
Haleakalā
House
of the Sun
Maui
they arrived late and werent able
to get down inside the crater walk it
Why a lava field he finally asked
out loudhis voice absorbed by the textured whitepainted drywall itself
a kind of a vertical lava field
Iceland crept across his mind mossy lava fields
but the lava field the voice invoked seemed
to him fresh warm black shards and cragsblack blades
a lot to draw from a single
intonation then mute
there were many peoplerelations who
thought he didthat he was a volcano surrounded
himself with black charred fields on which nothing could grow or be encroached
he didnt vacillate
he was solid ground
ahh what he would give to hear it
again or its vague echo
