November 25: Eruption

 Red and white up from the 

dark belly where no eye

saw the light from the great heat

stirring, churning,

under the terrible pressure:

the violence of shifting 

plates, the rock and the hard place

that is also rock, streaming free

upwards no more

to stop it from happening

it 

finally

explodes.

White then red

then

black.

It is said that when Oregon began venting lava into the inland sea it not only raised the sea a couple three thousand feet above 'sea' level and triggered a CO2 event we could learn from today at least a time or two it ran so fast and with so much force it broke and carried pieces of older mountains miles away
