Cirrus Wisps of Cerulean by Lulu AlderYou 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.
