Her body’s burning
Caught on fire by cells
They wrap themselves in elastic memory
She might make it to tomorrow, if all is well
But time takes the best of us
A living star has turned to rust
The life she gave, her efforts persuade
She may be gone, but her soul lives on
In the shared blood of kin
Enemies can conquer only if you give in
The representative has died, yet lessons survive
In the memories of things that have been.
