red.
red is the colour of danger. - the colour of taps, so that you don't pour scalding water onto your supple hands.
RED IS THE COLOUR THAT TELLS YOU TO STOP. like a traffic light, or the blood pooling from your neighbours front door.
The colour, as is this writing, that should stop.
Its the colour of valentines day, in which you should stop everything and be with your valentine.
Its in the colours when you're angry, to tell people to stop talking to you, and that you should stop being angry.
The international colour of love- and of anger: the irony that, they cancel each other,.


The expectant mother, cursing far too many times for a mother to be - suddenly breaks out in tears of joy, - the sight of her new born.

The fustration and anger of perserverance, the blood shot eyes- but a big fat A circled in red.

and yet.. closed my eyes and i saw her face - tones of red - of anger and danger , and that of pain.
then i opened them, and there she was - tones of red - of love and passion and that of desire.
