There has been a death in the family.

There has been a death in the family.

No eulogy, no coffin,

No funeral, no black.

And yet,

there has been a death in the family.

No undertaker, no hearse,

No cemetery, no grave.

And yet, there has most assuredly been

a death in the family.

No belly, no fullness,

No lifeline, no baby.

There has been a death in the family.
