When Tragedy Happens
by Stephen Kata → (All Poetry by Stephen Kata)
   Rated "PG" by the Author.

The mouth opens
to form the word "No!"

The hand extends
reflexively, palm outward,

before moving to cover
the now open mouth.

The body coils like a spring.
The eyes widen,

and look on helplessly
as the inevitable

acts itself out against
desperate hope.

Afterward, unanswered questions
flood the mind forever.
