Thor Sørheim: 'Magmatisk'


 

MAGMATIC

 

If we were able to observe the planet Earth

from innermost to outermost, we would see it resembles

an old gas lamp travelling through infinite darkness,

protected only by a thin mantle, fragile as an eggshell.

 

If we could penetrate to the exterior

of our comprehension, we would understand that it is

double-dealing, held fast in the course of the sun,

but with an incandescent longing to burn itself out.
