she is dressed-up
frilly and crisp
mother kisses her
brother screams from the car

she is nervous
holding notecards
mother kisses her

she is proud
wearing a blue lei
mother kisses her
she jumps and shouts

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
