Our fault lines
shifted,
your tectonics
drawing
hot lava from my
veins,
and in our orogenesis, mountains
formed
between
us.
I have finally found a toehold.
The only
way Forward
is Up.
This rope,
frayed
but strong,
will chafe
raw my uncalloused
hands
as I ascend.
I am prepared to bleed for you.
Tell me,
are you ready
to climb?
The climb may seem insurmountable and it is never easy but not impossible.
What does orogenesis mean please?
It is the collection of geological processes that lead to the formation of mountains. 🙂 See here.
Oh yes, I’m ready to climb up
In continental drift, the more swiftly and more closely two bodies come together, the higher the mountains between them. Now I understand why people climb mountains.
I am reminded of a quote by Carl Jung ~ The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: If there is any reaction, both are transformed.
The chief component of pyroclastic flow is ash. What a hot ash!
Yow — the potential here is as hot as the earth’s core.
Ah, lava… It’s not just for lamps anymore… 😛
What am I gonna do with all these black lights, then ?????
Go into the hotel inspection business perhaps? I hear blacklights highlight all sorts of nastiness when shone on certain well-used (ill-used?) surfaces.
*cue ’70s porn music*
Or you could DJ a few junior high dances and use them for decorations.
You’d likely have the same “eeeeuuw” factor either way. 😉
Hahahahaha— I always enjoy eliciting that reaction — I’m in on both ideas. 😀
