Dust and Ash
Dust & Ash
Meteors falling from the sky
like stars sparkling in the night.
The volcano’s dust forms
below Iceland’s clouds.
Life stops.
Pilots stand.
Air traffic is discontent,
as the volatile atmosphere erupts.
Through the blocking of the sun,
volcanic ash plumes.
The earth will be cool
for a year or two.
A washout will come.
Iceland’s dust and ash – gone.
