A body falls…

Men dive in

Phones ring out

Faces look shocked

The ambulance arrives…

A dead body is put inside

 

And the corner shop is

Open…

We put the beer in the bag

Hope the water is back on

Plan the telly

 

…

As an ambulance speeds by

Under a  milky moon 

 

Back home…

the neighbour

Brushed by…

his brother had drowned

and died
