Red is the only color worth a damn.

 Red blood. 


Why bother with other hues?

 

A blue sky, a green leaf, the yellow grass...  do they, would they, could they motivate?

 

The blush on my face; a flush of red, red blood beneath a blanket of colorless fat.

 

Raise your eyebrow, tilt your head, shift your weight on your hips. You enredden me. 

 

In my over-saturated state of enredment, I cannot control myself.

 

The twitch, the stutter, the stumble, the slur. 

 

The color red. The color of life.

 

I am bered.

 

I hope I am red-worthy. 

 

I want you.
