You're a Pompeiian poet. Volcanic ash is raining down. You write one last poem. What is it?

Keir in Poetry & Free Verse

ashes and dust

ashes and dust

bodies and rain

dark rain

we never saw

coming

ashes and dust

found but lost

over time

we lose it all

today

today

i cry

as i hold her

she shouts

as he holds himself

coddled in blood

puddles of mud

our legacy

gone

ashes and dust

remains

ashes and dust

only

this
