*In 2005, Mount Saint Helens released a plume of steam
and ash that caused minor earth shaking and no damage.
ode to mount saint helens
|
you're no small lahar flowing
gracefully or otherwise
announcing your hot arrival
frantically blowing off steam
erratically growing yourself
into more of the mountain
than you are cracking glaciers
in real time data streaming
pace rumbling in rhythm with
yourself good for you purging
pent up emotions is always
a relief to rumble: you go girl!
