Few people know exactly what happened, she was found lying breathless at the base of the stair Her gnarled lips dry and her head slightly flattened and stuck to the floor by her blood and her hair Slices of sun rays through blades of Venetian slant past the doorway across where she lies Her fingertips gentle and lost in the carpet, a fixed point invisible met by her eyes The tap in the kitchen was patiently dripping, the only thing beating that wasn’t alive Filling the cup from which she was sipping waits for the twist of ‘off’ to arrive... The mounts in her mouth were more plastic than natural waiting for rattles that gristle prevents Hearses cast shadows and rumble politely another night dead to the chain of events Who has a key then, to let themselves in? Who will be met by their fate in her face? Who can revive the lovely dear Lulu? Who will wrap her in sheer Maltese lace? ...just bein' Bluesy |

Poor Lulu, her last step was a doozey! Who indeed will wrap her in Maltese lace, which is quite lovely by the way. I hope you don't mind, but I found this gruesome tale to be mildly amusing. ~L |
