ONE

E Pele e! The milky way turns. E Pele e! The night changes. E Pele e! The red glow is on the island. E Pele e! The red dawn breaks. E Pele e! Shadows are cast by the sunlight. E Pele e! The sound of roaring is in your crater. E Pele e! The uhi-uha is in your crater. E Pele e! Awake, arise, return. —Hulihia he au (“The current is turning”)

At first only the wind is screaming. The westerly wind has blown unimpeded across four thousand miles of empty ocean, encountering nothing but white-capped waves and the occasional off-course seagull before striking up against the black-lava cliffs and gargoyle-shaped lava boulders that line the almost empty southwest coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. But having reached this obstacle, the wind now screams and howls between black rocks, the sound of it all but drowning out the constant crash of surf against the cliffs and the rustling of agitated fronds in the artificial oasis of palm trees within the jumble of black lava. There are two types of lava on these islands and their Hawaiian names describe them well: pahoehoe is usually older, always smoother, and has hardened to a smoothly billowed or mildly braided surface; a’a is new and jagged, its edges knife-sharp, its forms molded into grotesque towers and tumbled gargoyle figures. Along this stretch of South Kona coast, the pahoehoe runs in great, gray rivers from the volcanoes to the sea, but it is the sea cliffs and broad fields of a’a which guard the ninety-five miles of western coastline like tier upon tier of razor-edged warriors frozen into black stone. And now the wind screams through these labyrinths of sharp stone, whistling through gaps in the pillars of a’a and howling through fissures of ancient gas vents and down the open throats of empty lava tubes. Night comes on as the wind rises. Twilight has crept from the coastal a’a fields all the way to the summit of Mauna Loa, two and a half miles above sea level. Most of the great shield volcano rises as a black mass blotting out sky to the north and west. Thirty miles away, above the darkening caldera, low clouds of volcanic ash gleam orange from unseen eruptions. “So what then, Marty? You gonna take the stroke penalty or what?” . . .

We’d just gotten out of Denver, headed west during Friday rush hour, up the first major hill and Caroline had asked what the runaway truck ramp was for, when I saw the semitrailer in trouble on the eastbound, downhill lanes. At the time I thought he merely was going too quickly for the four-mile, six-percent grade, but the next morning in Breckenridge I saw the photos of the wreckage on the front pages of both the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News; the truck driver had survived but three women had died in the Toyota Camry he’d smashed into and forced over the concrete restraining wall. At the time, I told Caroline what the runaway truck exits were for and we’d watched for other ramps during the hour drive to the little ski-resort town. “It looks scary,” she said, looking at one of the steep cul de sacs of deep gravel. “Do trucks run out of control very often?” Caroline had turned six just three months earlier, in May, but she was precocious both in her vocabulary and her anxiety about a world with too many sharp edges. If Kay and others were to be believed, I’d helped create that anxiety in her. “No.” I lied, “It’s very rare.” . . .
