TWO EYES IN THE EARTH
glance up at me from hardened lava surrounded by scattering of loose rocks. How far down you go— a mile or two? If I drop a tiny pebble in you— will I hear a splash or an echo? or will you spew forth volcanic fire, a dragon's ire from the belly of earth? O Stone Man— did a glance from a Gorgon turn your flesh to stone? Speak if you can. O Mudman of Papua and New Guinea— what are you doing here in Hawaii? O Moon Man— can you tell me the taste of the Elixir of Immortality? O Earth Man— a masked god dancing on coals of fire, a shaman inducing me to trance— my body shattered in the spirit world— my eyes now ten thousand— and everywhere I turn— birds, flowers, and trees— all I see is me! — Peter Y.
