Sometimes I think things...

bethra lily is a baby girl with
a shock of violet hair pointy vampire teeth pricking curled
ruby lips sparkling emerald chips embedded in
black irises and a high clear voice that rose above
laments and cheers alike that come from
friends enemies family and admirers who look upon
baby bethra lily

is less than innocent even
at the age of seven with too much
sparkling silver hair flowing bare feet pad lightly through
silvery-green grass and tiny white flowers floating in the breeze
sparkly orange fingernails waving in the air catch a butterfly she said and
all the dreams of children everywhere will come true
just for a moment she said but just for a moment
