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
