Fair Day

Dawn is breaking into day Fair day As in every year But this is a year of mourning It doesnt look right Vera says to her sister And her motherinlaw looks at her and remembers the dead son Remembrance is a silence between the two of them Childrens voices come from outside Lucia wants to go to the fair with her uncle and cousin You promised claims the daughter Vera consents in letting her go Lucia waves her hand as the tractor drives away Chance once again An accident Death always so close so alive
