eruption
1980-5-18 afternoon

afternoon becomes night
i am 4 years old
the snow falls

beautiful snow
dry and warm
soft silk powder

momma brings me in
i call dad "its snowing!"

i wake Harlen
in his dark trailer
we watch together
he walks me back to grandmas

unaware of the death
the destruction
there is only awe
