To the woman I didn’t help
Wasn't sure about the last line because the initial image is clear and impacts, but then quite like the irony and the truth/resonance of that concluding line. Perhaps referencing motivation for poetry writing, a catharsis for regret, was an overload. Not sure. Anyway enjoyed.
Thanks Mac but you're a sophisticated poetry reader.

Counting the beats,
Counting the slow heart beats,
The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats,
Wakeful they lie.
