Tragedy

Tragedy


Sitting by the body, crying by the tree,
through the tears the eyes of her he sees.
Reaching and slowly moving the lids down,
pulled her from the lake after her drown.
Sirens in the distance break the air,
sitting, crying, into the moment his stare.
The crowd keeps silent a few paces away,
the rest of his life begins on this day.
