Priap
The seminal island basalt
holey extrusions tower
above villages, fungiform
pillars with apical slits.
Circular stone huts huddle
like children of red
volcanic rain, two to
a pillar, the people
swim and fish, grow tall.
They freeze, legs fuse
like atoms, bodies rise
and stiffen, wake the island's
molten heart, open mouths
and spew crimson bombs.
Parthenogenetic hatchery
soil-boring witchery
time-biding gestation, till
brats squall forth, gather
rocks to build huts
at their parent's foot.
