   Once again, the roadside shrine 
   The makeshift cross 
   The flowers, the poems 
 
   The celebration that they left 
   Immortal on the night before 
   And two policemen at the door 
 
   The rumours not quite adding up 
   And thus the need for more 
   The word so fragile on the wire 
 
   Or thinning in the mobiles 
   The counsellors on hand next day 
   To read their book of grief 
 
   The minute's silence on the Monday 
   The principal who finds the words 
   To certify the news 
 
   And friends who still can not believe it 
   The hugs, the tears 
   The numbness in a row of rooms 
 
   The blackboard R.I.P. in chalk 
   Surviving for a week  ...
