A Little Girl With Hat Of Ashes And Sandals Of Dust Poem by fera nugroho

behind the dead bamboo trees

a little girl with hat of ashes, sandals of dust

peeping at the red bloody wound of the dawn

her crystal eyes unable to penetrate her hope

unable to slice the dense grey smog

to find her dad and her mom

who went along with the dust

buried in the cleavage of rage

under the great fury of the earth

a little girl with hat of ashes and sandals of dust

sat in silence musing quietly to herself

when mt. sinabung was desirous

of making love to her village's land

his thundering breath blanketed the earth's life veins

leaving over the misery

gave birth to a million pain

that devoured my little girl's dreams

all her hopes were covered

in the angry ashes of the mighty mountain

chewing and crashing her strength

till her wound and her misery complete..
