Volcano
Dull the gray wash
Is swept clean
Flung out a fiery hearth
Washed into a restless sea
Into the cracked
Craggy coast of earth
Where laughing gulls
Cry in fear or hunger
Swoop in crooked flight
Stare at a vacant shore
Lifeless as a dessert
Covered in smoking ash
Waiting no more
(c) 2015

Covered in smoking ash
