scarlet

Dangerously curious for what lies ahead of me, I know I do not have much of a choice but to carry on.
Out of my shelter into this grind field I scan.
Like it's the end of the world, and I now must defend all I can.
As I breathe out, like smoke from a cigarette I see puffs dancing from my mouth.
To the beat of their tonics they chyme,
It excites me.
This must be how its like to live as a fish.
Perhaps this air is just too thick, and warm.
But black scarlet please don't give me the chills. I just want to get to know you more.
Silence is our common language,
So watch me while I sleep--
But you have my permission to go away when I awake.
I would love to not be so frightened of you.
