Pompeii last day #poem

 

that day the mountain gods are so angry –
and the earth they still made trembling –
they were not calmed by our offerings –
and a monster they then had released –
.
so our mountain it was tearing surely –
and a cloud of black ash was released –
by a dense smoke it was accompanied –
which our sky was hidden completely –
.
into the dark we were all plunged –
like in a night that was not starry –
a rain of small stones was falling –
and our roofs they wanted piercing –
.
outside they quickly accumulated –
then our doors were well blocked –
with my family together reunited –
by a fiery cloud we were suffocated –
