Death hangs
on the poles
at our bank.
A Chinese
fishing net
sinks down
with baits
to lure into
the fate.
Doom lurks
between the
darkness and
the blue.
Joys dry in the
breathless net
at dawn. As
care snoozes,
snare catches.

Chinese fishing nets hanging on poles can be seen at
river banks of Kerala. These nets are lowered and laid
at the bottom of the river at night, and lifted up with
fish in the morning.
