red touches the warm kitchen,
and the hot stove.
red is,
the scent of cinnamon,
and cooked yams.
the lingering taste of sweet and hot peppers.
a tomato juice tenant.
the pain of a burn.
the taste of blood.
the itch,
of a poison ivy rash.
a steamy kiss,
and fresh-cooked lobster,
in a hot bath.
red is a sauna
walking on hot coals.
the fiery sting of tequilla;
and lazy days in Mexico.
red is night at a fancy restaurant,
and the essence of gingersnaps. |
