Day of Mourning
Solitary and lonely
sits the city
that was once full of people.
Phnom Penh cries,
tears soaking her pillow.
City streets mourn
family and friends gone.
The highways lament
those who won't return
for this year's rice harvest.
Cambodia weeps.
Today has been declared a National Day of Mourning to remember the tragedy on the bridge to Koch Pich. On November 22, the last night of the Water Festival, over 400 people were killed in the crush of the crowds. Lamentations 1:1-2.
