Mary Cresswell
Volcanic Chain
Islands strung out like heartbeats
feel the waters' pulse
Complacent satellites
balance the tides
Seabirds whistle and garble
indifferent to chatter
Long-dormant islands mutter
rumble to the surface
Argue with encroaching foam
meet transforming currents
Wreckers steer the tourist boats
over sulphur waves
