Pompeii
           The smell of smoke lies in the air   Ashes, ashes in my hair   I stare into the graying skies   Only then did I realize   The fire shooting from the mountain   Like a big, hot, reeking, boiling fountain   Stone-still, I await my death   Smoke obstructs my every breath   I hear my people’s deadly cries   Quickly, quickly, I close my eyes       Photo Credit to Joachim G Pinkawa : fineartamerica.com
