Sometimes, when I can't sleep,
I read the recent deaths list on Wikipedia-
just in case Facebook forgot to inform me of anyone important's passing.
The funny thing is, Facebook misses a lot.
Today, March 13, 2012: Domitila Chungara, 75, died from lung cancer.
She was a Bolivian labour leader and feminist.
I bet she was a smoker.
The stress of unattainable human justice so strong
that only poison can relieve the symptoms for a little while,
drawing silvery wisps of light, brilliant, air from her burdened alveoli.
