quiet empty sky -
 the pleas of evacuees 
filling hands in prayer


❧✿❧
quiet empty sky -
lost in a volcano's wish to
spew molten statements

the pleas of evacuee 
as Soufrière pelts -
for Christ's sake calm down

filling hands in prayer
for a quickly safe return
to a spot called home

It's nice to be home. I like the Bat thing, ours really suffered during our extreme Texas cold. Turtles too.
