Red, red is the color of my hunger,
like the blood that flows from the cut
on my left ring finger. Like the rose that
withered on my front door step.
Like the color of my cheeks or
the echoing of a bruise. Your hunger
is a darkness that is simply
nothing, like a black hole of
constantly collapsing stars
that shine like an angler fish’s
allure. Like a deep, deep green
that feeds upon the beautiful.
Like a hypnotic blue that envelopes
you in a trance of one thousand pounds.
