RED

























Venetian painting, artist unknown

RED
like the rising sun
like the resident fox
like a ladybug
crawling slowly
across a warm floor
like the tops
of cedars
in evening light
like Lucia's rose
like apples
like wine
red is
lusty
sensual
all the handsome
things in life
like a rosy ripe pear
like rowan berries
Otto's poppies
like the cliffs
at Sedona
old barns
the fresh paint
on my wall
red my heart
my blood
the fire in it
planets
in a certain light
red the dress
worn the night
I first said
touch me
and you did
