Red Silver

This ribbon. It flickers a gentle crimson And dances in radiant pulses. Poised in history Elapsed In this moment With steal and sheath This blade. Will jitter and fumble In amateur fingers. It is innocent and perfect Yet riddled With carving And scaring Of flesh This girl. A hollow mind and frame holds a flimsy temper with heavy weight She frowns In distaste Of her affair With steal She watches the colour It runs And runs Such beauty In its pattern And frightful In its Wound
