P.S. Lulu Likes the Weather . . .


and sitting on ledges.
Lulu Belle shares only
the most important information
with others.
She communicates
rarely with words at all.
Her eyes speak
volumes.

Lulu Belladonna
is voluminous.

Lulu Belladonna of the Angels and Stars
sifts through all the images
she sees-
summarizes the tiniest details-
assesses sirens and seagulls, friends and foe-

Lulu can tell if a car is coming
or going,
merely by the sound its tire's tread makes upon the ground.

Lulu Belladonna is an information highway.

Lu may not know you,
but if you're there-
no matter how crowded the room-
no matter how loud the music-
how dark the corners-
she will notice you.
absolutely.

and Lulu will know what you want to do,
before even you.

Lulu Belle can just tell.

Lulu likes table tops and things lying on the floor.
Lulu enjoys the covers being on top of her
and tiny places, like pillowcases.

Lulu likes to drink water out of glasses,
even when her own bowl is full.

Lulu tells the truth, in every situation.
and she never ever laughs at another's expense.

Lulu rarely laughs at all.
She rather, smiles- with her eyes.

Lulu likes you,
because you're an interesting person.

You have a nice way of carrying yourself,
and a soft voice. sometimes.
You have a kind heart and
are willing to play with her at the drop of a hat.
Lulu appreciates that.

Lulu thinks the two of you will get along just fine,
but she wants you to know, if the weather is particularly
exciting, she may want to spend some time alone.

Lulu expects you'd understand.
Lulu knows you need time with just you, too.

And she's ok with that.
