The arsenic comes from the earth itself, they say, as the river brings down sediments from the mountains. But ten micrograms per litre? In the lab report it is just a number, cha. In my hand it is the dark spots on my paapa's skin and the tiredness in my own bones. We have drunk this slow poison for a generation, waiting for the pipe to bring clean water they keep promising.
