Iceland ...

 

rock hard

the landscape looks as though

it once flowed

waves of lava

breaking on a shore

that came before

now frozen

inviting contemplation

of what comes next

an ocean

of rock waiting for 

the next waves

from the bus' window
a sea of concrete ...

I could have been anywhere;  in fact, I was riding the airport bus from New York City to Newark Airport, across the New Jersey Meadowlands.  The Meadowlands, also known as the Hackensack Meadowlands, is a large ecosystem of wetlands in northeast New Jersey.  It is know for being the site of large landfills and decades of environmental abuse.
