Red Woman

Shy baby, you glow.

 

From head to toe

From knees to neck

With flames curled in a bun

And a freckle to match, nonetheless, then every one of my thoughts

Starring you.

 

It sways me

And fumbles me 'bout to and fro

 

My word, I'm dazed...

 

With the fact stated

That you may never come to know,

Let alone read this.
