old age

the fishes are lifeless on the pond,
the moss and the water hate each other
the spider no longer walks on top of the water
and hangs itself from the coconut leaf
in the middle of the air

some children use to fish here and now
the arrive and not seeing any ripple at all
or bubble
not seeing the reflection of the blue clouds
the children leave and look for
some other ponds with fishes to give

they do not bother throwing their lines here
the worms will be useless
