Lava Field Driving the Idaho interstate  Where dark, rich soil nourishes Potatoes destined for Mickey D’s. Memories erupt, then flow, as we Pass by lava fields. They are Frozen in time, stark, heavy, black  Rock strewn where it fell or cooled. Basalt dull, blunt, hard. Obsidian Sharp edged, smooth and glossy. Pumice, porous and brittle. And I, Ash from the father of volcanoes Settle wherever I am. Memory spews Never really dormant, vents heat. Tremors still rattle me to the core. © Bruce Morton
