in_red

In red she said
Wearing red
Sweater red
Strapping red
Falling again she said

Trusting no one she said
Falling asleep in someone else’s bed
Again, she said

In red she said
Lipstick red
Fire engine red
Arrest me red
Stalling again she said

Trusting no one she said
Crawling knee deep in moralities head
Again, she said

In red she said
Seeing red
Hatred red
Anger red
Feeling again she said

Trusting no one she said
Again and again and again

...that's why it's a good idea to make one's bed before sleeping in it, for others' beds may not always be quite as comfortable as one would have thought...

And when, instead,
her youth had fled,
the wise ones said,
"Now live in dread,
for hope is dead-
accept it, Red."

Nan (Pilgrim variety)
