Without Light


I saw a woman commit suicide today

I say I saw the incident

But that is untrue

As I looked the other way

At the moment of impact

I just heard the suicide

I cannot undo that fact

But I did not see her death

Before anybody realised

What had happened

I left the railway station

And walked towards the bus station

It was here that I began to weep

Not for the poor desperate woman

But just for myself as it was my tragedy
