throat-slit volcano
ogre erupts with joy
watching blood-rivers
eleven humans
trapped in a hole
buried with ash
eyes, petrified:
Is this the Apocalypse?
the ogre nods
Pompeii : August 24, 79 AD
Eleven humans.......why? I Know why!
There is clearly a miltonic influence here. You draw pictures of feasts and dances
It is a bed of pain, Aru, but what I loved in this is your honesty...ashes and smashes
the dead will lie Aru. Ash to ash.
Weep not, but in the poetry child it becomes you. This is good, because it is heartfelt,
but more than anything else...... deeply honest.

Thanks Lovely. This was written "on the cuff". I saw a pic on the net of 11 human remains, covered with plaster cast. May be that drove me to write the piece. Smiles.
Thank you Kimibob and Lovely for your encouragement.
Smiles.

Thank you Suzanne for the reply and the time on this.
