Pulsing, throbbing endless flow,

Thralling one in breathless awe;

Golden serpent, gleaming grandeur

Twisting, bristling, writhing splendor

Weaving, heaving molten river,

Onward, downward red-hot fervor.

Gurgling, gargling might ogre,

Boiling, toiling, roiling over.

Rumbling, tumbling, searing “glower” –

Where, pray tell, do you rush so?

(When & what will stem your flow?)

Gushing, crushing, rushing ever

Onward, forward to’rd Never?

“a devouring fire”
