"Red is sizzling hot conjuring up a wide range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to the spilling of life’s precious blood.
It can be sensual, primal it speaks of deep emotions.
It is the color of both cupid and the devil.
It grabs attention, it is wild, and wanton, it clearly speaks…
I want a Red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap.
I want it too tight.
I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress,
so no one has to guess
what's underneath.
I want to walk like I'm the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress... bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want.
When I find it, I'll pull that garment
from its hanger like I'm choosing a body
to carry me into this world,
through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I'll wear it like bones...
like skin...
it'll be the damn
dress they'll bury me in.
