Red

Eyes beat like a heart,
feelings crowded with red.
"if somebody's got soul"
I sway to this,
singing unevenly.
jumping from chest to head.
watching her voice collect the beauty of words.
Snatch a hand and make it see
the song is living inside me.
music will always be my favorite dish.
eyes beat against it all.
red burns out the made up light;
the sounds leave and everything freezes in fire.
