MULTO ni Leah C Dancel


A STATELY GHOST 
(Multo) 

It was an exceptional day 
The atmosphere was surreal 
The once lively little town turned eerie 
And the man on the pedal started to get fidgety.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down his face
Crippled by angst, fears and worries 
Hopes and expectations were crushed in vain 
At home, little hungry mouths awaited his means.

It's getting close to noonday 
His pocket was still empty,
There's no passenger in sight 
Then he saw a flicker of light. 

Donned in her modest dark apparel
With long haired-head covered by a black veil,
A stately fair lady appeared.
She asked for a ride to a place unravelled. 

It was a long winding road trip to infinity 
Soon they arrived at this unpopulated spectral city 
The lady broke her silence at last
In deep grave voice she asked the man to stop. 

She paid the driver a handsome sum 
He felt her cold hands, not one for a glam 
He saw nothing around but a putrid swamp 
The lady disappeared and the man went cramped.
