Yes, Super-Precious...

News of a death
and deaths
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
