Lulu

Lulu is as beautiful as the translucent
white shine of the fairy pond:
Lulu you loved, Lulu you cried,
Lulu you flew you flew until you fell against
the red hot tickle of the sun.
Lulu said nothing as you

orange, flickering faster and faster.
Lulu you screamed like a charred
fingernail, perfect as a rainbowed tear.
Lulu is lovely like the opaque
white glitter of your scattered bones,
each reflecting the flickers of
Lulu’s ancient, ancient smile.
