and deaths
near and far
near and far
a reminder
do we need
another
reminder
that life is
super-precious
can't hold on
can't hold out
can't stop the
spinning of the
planet
still need to do
the things we do
empty the dishwasher
brush our teeth
make our appointed rounds
better to
grab a sunbeam
inhale a flower
ride a cloud
hold the lightning
in our hearts
tears streaming
down
