because red is never silent
and why would it be, really
we have cool blues for that,
dark midnights and
periwinkle fields to float upon
but it’s winter
give me some vermilion
a scarf of scarlet, or crimson,
lipstick stain on landscape grey
singing loud and unafraid
nevermind who’s looking,
or who knows you’ve been here,
never let them turn away
