The Burial

by | Jul 29, 2019 | Uncategorized | 44 comments

 The species slaughtered and sliced,

Washed and fried, golden brown,

Blood mixed water saved with care,

And carried out with conscientious gait,

Without sprinkling the immaculate floor,

To shower the slender pumpkin creeper,

That  makes  it grow and fruit fast.  

The basin washed with a lot of fuss,

To detach the odour loath to leave,

The scales taken up one by one,

To keep the pipeline clean and clear.

The bones, fins  and gills,

 All coffined  in plastic bag,

And carried out of cat’s mess,

 Far away to the road side drain,

 For the burial that ends  with the prayer:

“May you rest in peace here for  ever

Along with your brethren:

Bottles, cans and child’s broken toys.

                       Amen.”

…….. Dr. Fathema Begum

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing problems with your
    site. It appears as if some of the written text on your
    content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide
    feedback and let me know if this is happening
    to them as well? This could be a problem with my
    browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Appreciate it

    Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your site
    in internet explorer, may test this? IE still is the marketplace chief and a large component of
    folks will omit your excellent writing due to this problem.

    Can I simply just say what a comfort to find someone that genuinely understands what they’re talking about on the internet.
    You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make
    it important. More people must check this out and understand this side of
    the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.
