Author's note: The following poem was published in Spanish language on April 15th, 2019. It is inspired in the BBC documentary movie Krakatau: The Last Days, which you can watch on Youtube.
.-.-.-.
You exploded
at the middle of the ocean
in 1883.
.-.-.-.-.
Your rage showed Nature's power,
both so feared and so respected.
Your power decided decided who will live and who will die.
.-.-.-.-.
Those who lived told
the deed of your strength
in their own handwriting.
.-.-.-.-.
Your son succeeds you in the throne;
many are afraid that he continues
what you left
in that fatal year of 1883.
