Volcano Poem by Njabulo Mkandla

Volcano



Merciful, merciful
These hills are merciful
They ride upon the mountain tops
They celebrate their
companions joy
They hold their breath
and plunge into the ocean
awaiting the day they may
arise again

They dance with laughter
and choke with glee
They march on endless,
even through the depths of the sea
They are ancient warriors
They are newborn babes
Fire breathing dragons
Our centre stage
