summer leaves one

Summer Leaves.


The strong June leaves that floated on
the water in the ornamental pond, like
newly launched long ship, have now
submerged to the bottom, the water is
cold and murky. A deep shadow block
the sun from entering and the garden
is silent since a two year old boy tried
to catch a sunray that danced on clear
water on a perfect summer’s day; On
ladder a man, in winter coat, stands his
eyes are dark as the pond, unforgivable
he should have been there to save his
son…if only…. He tightens the noose
and hear the child calling his name.
