Celebration of a Friend - Minichu

Celebrate life as death;
names iced across cakes with love as carved on gravestone—
covet breadth.

Reap or romance;
same chance to see flames, cheer, lie prone.
Our dance,

on clouds—
candles blown.
Crowds.

Celebrate life as death;
same chance to see flames, cheer, lie prone.
Crowds.
