when the volcano blows 

 

when the volcano blows
the sky glows
brightly lited cadmium orange and yellow
above the horizon, it combs

when the volcano blows
ashes blown
its effect, is worst than crows
it forces airspaces to close

when the volcano blows
stranded passengers by the drove
no food, no drinks, no pillows
on the airport floors and sofas, they repose

when the volcano blows
thick clouds it boasts
lava continuously flows
air, liquid & solid, it molds

when the volcano blows
one asks, when will the rupture close?
with only one ancient precedence known
realistically, nobody knows

when the volcano blows
stratosphere becomes a black meadow
emotions hollow
human mellows!

when the volcano blows
one asks, when will the rupture close?
only when nature discloses
for now, simply hope the wind lie low...
