The excess will end up

It’ll end up, somewhere, the too much,

the excess, anticipated by an inexplicable

pain, deaf,

from a restlessness boiling

underground,

looking for a passage

in deep geologic layers,

a crack on the surface,

a dry wellspring,

where to gush out,

liquid incandescence

that it glasses in forms

made pure by fire
