red was such a pretty color
walking through the store
the vermillion dress
and the crimson heels
are what stood out the most
scarlet lipstick
was a favorite at sephora
and salmon ruby bedspreads
at ikea
but then it started appearing
on the white surface of the smooth powdered sugar
drip drip drip
what a gorgeous cardinal cut into the vein
