My Red Melancholy

Under the bright lights
And pristine haze
I look away

As sick secrets sinuously sleep
Underneath a surface that is
Poised and pretty and sweet

My raven hair scented
With traumatic experiences
Buried alive . . . refusing to die

My crimson lips
Whisper
Of a quiet desperation

My eyes refusing to shed
The tears of . . .
My Red Melancholy

    This probably isn’t going to make sense, but this representation reminds me of a character that you might see Bev Doolittle paint….almost a camouflage of white on white. The red makes the eye bounce.

    After comparing this art work with your three other of that series

    The Red Stare
    The Red Freeze
    The Red Breeze

    I really like this one the most. I suppose that the porcelain look of your eyes in this one transfer this effect to the whole body and gives the impression the you completely look like made of porcelain.

    And I really like all four poems of that series, they absolutely fit to the motive of each photo.
