You're a Pompeiian poet. Volcanic ash is raining down. You write one last poem. What is it?
Sex ashes
Her body was of an hourglass and my love had run out of time,
it was her glass ass that poured my love from the flask
but what is one to do when the sky comes down raining
well my ball sack was clanging while we were banging,
she looked at me with hope
that maybe in the end it’d be easy to cope,
but I saw the mountainous slope of fire as hot as geyser, it trickled,
like my love for this woman
who is nothing like the omen we see erupting and thumping
shooting its eruptions as I will do when finished
and when we are good and ready we will lay
and burn away along with Pompeii.
