view of the Tungurahua plume...

she models the Huari Ceremonial Textiles
headband, mantle, and tunic
amidst the delapidated broughams
which lead up to the "mud tombs"
among the lesser hills

later that evening reading from Alphonse Daudet's
La Doulou
she would have a vision
of a vast interconnected webwork
of headless torsos composed of sulphurous ochre lava
-
of a gown of diaphanous spittle
which would grow from a suppurating emblem
which would settle like a vaginal/virginal snowflake
on her forehead
and become a mouth
to the foetus of her pineal eye
-
on the road from Banos
she would cough incessantly
nearly waking the drunken photographer
who would mumble:
The Black Giant is the center of every written O
in history
the sum of the space of every O ever written..
The basaltic O of time inborn..

O
...
[On April 24th,
incandescent blocks were projected
from a crater glowing red,
down the slope of the volcano.]
...

they traveled on
to Kuelap
