At your tremulous wake your friends suddenly
Recall the events of your sordid life.
I smile as God did when he gave Lucifer breath
And absent-mindedly trace the half moon
Your red mouth once carved into my shoulder.
Long ago I kissed you into ashes
But it took some time for the world to see-
The body defiled by soft lips of flame,
Innocence stolen from spring's bright meadows,
The violence of ages the song of a scythe.
My love, when I stand over what you were,
The flowers that I place upon your soul
Will turn a vibrant rainbow to darkness.
