A VOLCANO IN KYSUSHU
Mount Aso uplandsGary Snyder
horses, rimrock
the sightseeing buses crameed,

sulphrey cliffs, streakt snow.
--whiffing the fumaroles
a noseless, shiny,
mouth-twisted middle aged man.
blue jeans, check shirt, silver buckle,
J. Robert Oppenheimer:
twenty years ago
watching the bulldozers
tearing down pines
at Los Alamos.
