Red

listen to ‘Red’ on Audioboo

Red

Primary

Blood

Ire, love

Passion, rage

Ire, love

Blood

Primary

Red

And so

It forever

Circulates

And so

It forever

Pumps

Along the

Incongruity of

Life, that ever

Flows

Red

The Man who Sees Red

I’ve been told

there is this couple

that named their girls

Ruby, Dahlia, Cherry and Cerise,

I’ve also been told

That this same couple

Named their boys

Burgundy, Carmine and Garnet

It’s no wonder then,

That I should not be surprised to hear,

That while in bed at night

A shade of red appears

in each these children’s dreams
