In the Shadow of the Volcano - World Poetry

We have generally lived
in the shadow of the volcano,
looming on the horizon,
adore a sleeping, smoldering furnace,

love a fierce warrior-
that abruptly promises to rise
attractive, billowing smoke increasing gracefully,
ascending-

from inside its folds,
clouds of escaping heat,
earth's boiling overloads
in the morning,

Dawn-
painted powder blue,
charcoal gray
in the evening,

Sunset-
painted gold hues,
end of the closing day
the volcano hasn't erupted-
in quite a few years,
but nevertheless my heart
has lingering fears

after the roof was after-
covered in ash,
I wasn't confident
the city would final

adore a voice from the previous,
really like my heart beating rapid,
adore anything I can never neglect

but the head of the volcano
returned to its shell,
and the town we have grown to really like
remained-
us as nicely

we have generally lived
in the shadow of the volcano,
each morning I rise,
eat breakfast
go to college

I normally lift my head on the way,
to see if the mountain
is hot or cool,

after I disappear
into the walls exactly where I study all day,
I be concerned at times
significantly-

how lengthy we can continue
to live this way
we have often lived
in the shadow of the volcano

after I eat my tortillas for lunch,
yellow, white or blue corn,

I hope and pray we are on this earth
for a lengthy time-

I hope to see
the Mexican sun
continue to shine

I dream of becoming a physician 1 day,
-and I would aid all of the kids,
someplace really far away
the town that goes about its business-

busy hive of bees,
but in the air is a smell-
strangely special
the city sometimes
is most severe,

twitching adore a baton,
conducting a song
strange and mysterious
an eagle prepared to dive-
a infant prepared to cry, sharp-

enjoy the cutting of a knife
the volcano reminds me
of the preciousness of life,
of making use of every day wisely
the turning hand of time

we have normally lived
in the shadow of the volcano
I remain in this town
since I have nowhere else to go,
it is our only residence.
