Lillian

Your smile is evil like love,
like the split in the universe,
like all the atoms falling through
to become one being,
like the arc my body makes
when I am shot into the sky
and then quickly plummet,
like other bullets
sleeping in the curvature of Earth
to be born in a ruby fountain
tendrils of a shell
the stars sink toward
only lord of your choice of sword.
