Eruption during the cleansing ceremony

Did you see
the vivid, prolonged twilight glows
    long-lasting twilight colours
   deep, fiery red sunsets

Did you see
    stratospheric dust stripes
    a volcanic aerosol haze and
the sunlit illuminated, visible
bands in the twilight arch

A brilliant arc of lavender, pink
    and fiery orange
would rise from the west

And well into the night
light was strong enough to cast
distinct shadows on the ground 

Did you notice how
    during the day
the sky simply did not look right.
Losing its crisp, deep blue appearance
turning more milky 
    chalky, some say turbid
    sometimes, a Bishop's Ring

An early indicator
   of the aerosol blanket
   which cooled the planet for a year

Do you remember
those months when
global winds spread a veil
around the world
