A Take on Red
Red for blood –
Pumping out a life; Paling in a death; Blushing in a feminine face – Flushing out her puberty; Stain a presage for the mother ready. And red, a flag of hatred in the eye – The brutal other side – Blood-release of war; The sundered heart! But then the red of simple dress To give a beauty all she needs – And flaming hair And flimsy lace of underwear And passion in the wanton heart And dreams of crimson stockinged legs apart – The rawness in the fantasy that Only red can be. And I? To only seek for Autumn Bleeding in her many hues Of red and other sister colours – Those of tiring summer; The fall of evening chill, To wake with mist of morn, Until cerise of dawn Presents another day.
