the shadows of the death


The calm in the mining pond
The water rising when it rains
The greenish sometimes murky water
The shadows of the dead

The food court just opposite
The morning ritual of loud voices
The housewives gossiping loudly
The ringing sound in the ears

Not many are looking
The old mining pond opposite
2 Indian men drowned a few weeks ago
The normal routines have returned

The wet ghosts lurking
Calling for the greedy and desperate souls
The pond of greenish gold
Be very alert don't go there alone
