It seemed fitting, somehow, that he should die laughing,
That bright star boy who had burned into Remus's life
And filled the dark places with his smile.
Blaze of hope, life, love, shaking starfire from his hair.
No long fade, cooling, small dark remnant,
No. No endless shadowed dying,
No. Live with fire and die by it, Sirius, friend, brother, love.
Laughter that peals through the night,
One thousand suns shattering, dust to dust,
Death by supernova.
