#5 Starflower

#5, from the Book of Blue

for lulu

starflower
i see you falling
from the sky
in the high place that i put you.

starflower
why are you crying?
you're probably dying
and going to a better place.

starflower
i was a bad influence on you
i was a bad experience for you
and you should be happy
now my wrists are slit.

starflower
i've led you to sin
i've starved you of your soul
i've committed crimes against mother earth
in your name
i've spoiled your name
starflower
don't cry for me
stay shining in the sky
high away from me.

starflower
i see you far above me
falling
exploding with the might of the sun.

starflower
you are beautiful when you die.
