Sad Little Houses

Amparo R. Asuncion

The sad little houses, the poor little houses

Crowded by the riverside.
The holes in their roofs, the cracks in their walls
Vainly they try to hide.

The stench of the river, the dark, muddy river

Is with them night and day,
Pure, fresh air may be had for the moving
But they can’t move away.

They can only stand by the bank of the river

Buried knee-deep in clay.
They can only stare at the drifting garbage
Until they, too decay.

And, pass away into ghosts of houses

Killed by burning sun,
Smothered with dust and then forgotten-
Forgotten by everyone.
