Poem #641

day 1:
she is born
ugly and beautiful
mother kisses her
she has no father

day 1,936:
she is dressed-up
frilly and crisp
mother kisses her
brother screams from the car

day 5,171:
she is nervous
holding notecards
mother kisses her
classmates watch her

day 7,910:
she is proud
wearing a blue lei
mother kisses her
she jumps and shouts

day 9,414:
she is blissful
in a white gown
mother kisses her
music drifts in church

day 9,731:
she is dead
pale white skin
mother kisses her
everyone cries expected tears
