If this world were to ever turn red Like ripe pomegranates or strawberry spread You’ll feel the pull as I tug on this thread.   Let me scribble all over your balmy skin   With details about my soaking sins   Until you’re covered with my poison within.   Let me greet you with my ruby lips   I’m feeling feline, my teeth might nip   But there’s no knowing where my tongue might slip. If this world were to ever turn red Like opera curtains or a feverish head We can put on a show in my backyard shed.   Let me document you in this space   You yearn for the power I make you chase   Camouflaged in feather, leather, and lace.   Let me guide your figure onto the floor   Then obey and get onto your fours   Fight with a devil and you’ll lose the war. If this world were to ever turn red --It’s really just a matter of when There’s not a color I’d prefer instead.
