Red is red, because it's in the blood.
I know you all think I'm asking for disappointment,
smashing my head against a wall of towering odds,
trying pathetically to express myself
in aesthetic dimensions
and reveal the things of myself most folks
wouldn't eat raw
face to face in mundane life.
I've cut myself for my work
and let melancholia bleed all over it--
a sort of masochistic release, I suppose.
But even I sometimes couldn't understand
how crimson sorrow was such fertile ground
for such inspired art.
