Red

And I’ll dance smoke rings
Around you
Bringing you back to life like a
Rain dance.
Your knees will buckle
As I dub you
King and me Queen
With my heart aflame
Burning holes into all
Your theories of love and loss.
And I will
Kill your cynicism,
Beating it into the earth
With swollen fists
And empty hands.
While you lean against me
The way you used to
That night
When we cried,
Tired from too much sleep.
Enter the comatose
Enter each other
Pushing out all those
Dead thoughts
In the black night
And see through all
Those lies
Spoken in secret
Acting out in a fit
Of rage
Like a Bull
Blindsided
From too much red.
