I don’t think a view can get any better than this.
first time was a hike
second time a climb
third time’s the charm
like a stroll
on the beach
or a potato field
with the most amazing view
•
the Icelanders are experts
on turning the nature
into a tourist attraction
add business hours
create a parking lot
for a thousand cars
coat the moss with gravel
it’s dead anyway
•
aimed to see
the burning hill
during the night
arrived at the parking spot
at 21 PM
the sun was shining
and it never really left
•
climbed the hill
on loose soil
skied down
on the steepest side
I really should invest
in hiking boots
•
a month ago
I made a promise
to cook marshmallows
on lava
during the night
I don’t break promises
but it doesn’t mean
I came prepared
I always had
the marshmallows with me
but forgot the sticks
didn’t stop us this time
the marshmallows
were put straight on lava
•
first five
died in blue flames
others were consumed raw
but after the rescue team
left the site at 12 AM
find a block of lava
not too close
to the glowing rocks
place it on there
the sensation
of your face burning
is worth it
step back
for when the wall of lava
wants to become the floor
if not, save your sweets
and enjoy
with a crunchy side
of rock salt
they stick together
through everything
•
it feels like home
I don’t even mind
the toxic gases
in my nose and lungs
don’t ever stop me
from going back
