The Color Red

Red

0224.2025

Red is verve,

And passion,

Or another

Animal

Altogether—

Something like,

Strawberry

(Or their moons),

Or the deep

Ruby rush

Of cherry—

Possibly,

A flower

You’ll kiss,

(Or its fire.)

It’s in the

Female stain,

Mulled wine,

And blood sap

Beneath the

Blood moon high—

Where the earth

Exhales out

Elysium’s

Rosalia.

It’s in life—

And its love.
