Strawberry juices running down parted lips,
Gliding, lightweight wings of a cardinal,
Dripping of blood from a rip in the skin.

Deep reddened cheeks,
Some bitter radishes,
Bloodshot eyes from no sleep.

The fluttering wings of a lady bug,
A burn from the sun,
That soft smell of red roses,
A gulp of dark red wine.
