The council finally finished putting up that new estate by the river.
It's meant to overlook the whole area and according to residents it certainly does.
Shame they never stick around for long, there's always some reason or another for them to go.
Personally I think it's all in the dirt.
The hill they built those lovely new homes on is... reappropriated, so to speak.
Most of the dirt was dug up from nearby land that's now a carpark but before that it was a church.
St Martin's or Matthew's, ithe name varies depending on who you ask.
Either way they dug up more than just dirt, not that they'd admit it of course.
If you squint between the artificial grass they stuck between the wire fencing you'll see white.
The official story is that they put chalk in to act as an "natural odour remover" against the river.
Nobody local believes it, we've seen the bones - we've all seen the bones.
Some have taken it upon themselves to free the remains and rebury them in sacred ground.
They plan on blessing the whole hill before cutting as much of the support wire as possible.
It might work, might put the dead to rest at long last.
Might just make more dead to contend with.
