Red



Red lost with ink black
tossed flax seed
I condemn the emotion
to grace unbound
sounding grounding founding
unabashed leisure
siezure hip pocket
socket criminal of what of blessings
givin like robin hood
bestowed upon the vagrancy
the vacancy of a heart lost
tossed into the empty well
grains in mornings of the southern wind
send the uplifting flagrant act of a wish of immortality
and mortality left us alone
in between love and fear
a gift of revealing caution amidst the trees
