Myself and a bunch of other poets have our poems inside poetry posts located around the
Santa Fe Community College. If you are at the campus or plan
on visiting it sometime soon, check them out. It's like a treasure hunt for poetry and
a great activity to do when the weather is nice, like it has been recently.
Pick up a coffee and take a walk around the campus outside in nature
and be inspired by poetry!

I
am nature and you can’t control me
my
breathe, a vaporous gas
With
this release, I have set myself free.
Pressure
builds up inside, volcanically
ash
spews, from my fiery crevasse
I
am nature and you can’t control me.
My
hair, golden and flowing around me
it
runs, like molten lava down my ass
With
this release, I have set myself free.
My
hot blood oozes out into the sea
sizzling,
it turns into solid mass
I
am nature and you can’t control me.
Fissures
erupt from my core, viscerally
my
cone shatters like an inverted wineglass
With
this release, I have set myself free.
Like
the goddesses Pele and Kali*
I
will destroy all who trespass
I
am nature and you can’t control me
with
this release, I have set myself free!
*Pele
is the goddess of volcanoes.
*Kali
is the Hindu goddess of change and destruction
