Cirrus Wisps of Cerulean

by Lulu Alder

You looked distant for a moment, and I thought you had forgotten the question
so I repeated again
     “What is pretty?”
This time more timidly,
hesitant that maybe it was just too silly to deserve an answer.

But then you locked eyes with me,
and I ignored the reflections of cirrus wisps
that danced in your lenses
so that I could memorize the flecks of gold sprinkled in your irises.
     “Pretty is you
     in the moment that your tears stop and your nose scrunches up in a laugh.
     Pretty is you.”

This is a spectacular scene painted with the words of a true romantic. The images are hazy like a summer day that lends itself to flights of fantasy and day dreams. Great read.
