A Village Story.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

A Village Story....



the woman
with a red skirt comes down
from the mountain

she carries with her
a basket of violet eggplants

the little hand of a child
holds to her mother

he is silent with his blue
lollipop

the market day here is a
sunday

a drunkard runs amok
the streets of the village

killing in cold blood a
young man waiting for her girl

as she urinates beside the
abandoned hut near the river....
