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.
