They found her
underneath the oak tree
behind the Laurel Park.

Children parted
between solemn parades
of timeless blue.

They wrapped her
in her mother's
ivory wedding dress.

Her rose lips
were parted in
a soft smile.

The sky rolled
in greyscale,
dripping quiet.

They said that
she smiled
from the gentle
touch of heaven.
