If they are elegy,
they make a garish show of it,
cascadingly penultimate:
a tablecloth’s lace tracery,
a coronet of frozen waves,
or speckled plumage which a few
glittery stamens straightened through.
Nothing stays long. Nothing behaves.

—From “Day Lilies” by Dylan Carpenter

Hello internet, poet Caitie Moore wrote a crystalline elegy following the pulse nightclub shooting that is scrubbed from the internet because the online publication folded. Looking ahead to the ten year anniversary in June it should be republished where a lot of people can read it forever
