Courtesy of 1-2 Special Only a species suffering from terminal main character syndrome would, when describing intimately human experiences like love, reach for the language of global cataclysm. Tsunami, earthquake, meteor strike, volcano: We’re barely in love at all unless our metaphor is a natural catastrophe with the potential for mass devastation. Pete Ohs‘ “Erupcja” (Polish for eruption) is peppered with pyroclastic clouds and mountaintops belching glowing rivulets of lava. But in both slight story and lo-fi form, it’s a denial of the grandiose notion that the massive forces of geological transformation might exist merely to reflect the wonky workings of the human heart. Volcanoes, like stars and tides and changing seasons, don’t give a damn.
