Andesitic magma 
was leaching from a tectonic collision deep below
and burned itself out 
on the side of a newly formed rend in the landscape
A languid lava flow both ruthless and viscous&nbsp;&nbsp;

pyroclastic madness settled in a cooling atmosphere 
forming ash and raining tephra which fell
quietly to earth&nbsp;&nbsp;
to suffocate the burning
and everything else.

under ash clouds
under grey powder and stillness 
no movement can be made.
Each breathe is sulphuric but the burning goes on
