Beyond Time
Ever since the very day,
when deep silence surrounded me
waiting for green light at an empty city-crossing,
I saw two cars come from ahead and aside
and inevitably collide
before they were actually in sight
and an irreversible moment later
watched and heard it happen for real,
I know that next to our time’s awareness
there's more ways to witness life.
