in a serious voice

in mid conversation,
talking
about the weather
and traffic.
the news.
sports
and music, she suddenly
stops
folding the towels
on her table
and says
in a serious voice,
the man next door,
she points with her
thumb,
he killed himself the other
day.
shot himself in the head.
as he sat in the sun
on his patio. 
we heard the bang.
his wife
was in the house
making dinner.
