A Sudden Island

A sudden island surges from the sea
Where once low waves were rulers of the heights.
A plume of smoke like Lucifer’s goatee
Spreads white across the water. Lava spites
The peaceful brine and pushes up a brief
Excuse for land made of debris. Heat
Has moments in this temporary reef,
But only moments. There is nothing neat
In this exploding boil. It is like
Some low grade passion (here read “lust”) that blooms
And withers in the Red Sea, or a spike,
This sulphurous icicle of fires that booms.
..And then it goes. It simply disappears,
….Its steam less missed than temporary tears.
