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.
