ABERFAN
If there are no ghosts
Whose voices howl - black-dusted
on the mountain breeze
*****
Note on the name Aberfan - Source of the River Van
Aber can mean both estuary and source of a river.
Van mutated in Welsh can be ban or baniau or faniau
meaning peak. So estuary of the river from the peak.

Re: Aberfan
Hi Frank,
Consider this more spectral incarnation, putting the images forefront, then the question as finale 0-
black-dusted cries
voices through mountain breeze -
No ghosts?
Now the question - the doubt - can't stand up to defiant questions.
