A giant human shadow on earth
Engulfs the ocean and cloud
Remains arid now heavy hearted
Angel there praying for light.
Mother sitting in the sun.
In the kitchen she cooks something
She stands still, tap is on
Basin is clogged, water soon
Floods our planet.
Star dust around her face,
My son playing in the backyard
Fears the shadow, I say
It is your granny, look.
Mother comes down now sits
In the air right beside my boy.
In the kitchen she moves and
Cries, no sound, I see her chop
A big onion, and no one is there
Outside my son and mother.

A coffin
We were only two
The main door was closed.
Indoor that goes to other room
Stood alone,
No path, before us, a wall
We saw everything through.
The earth was shaking now from inside
Soon maybe, soon wave would explode,
The disaster, the homeless people
Wandering under the sky
The earth looked dull,
The climate was so indomitable.
Someone said, stay, you are safe there.
