"cherry red, rain splatter -
for a moment I forget that ichor is gold.
dress stained scarlet,
hands painted burgundy,
I think you're gone, gone, gone,
until you smile, and I see carmine teeth, vermillion tongue.
spring arrives where death makes its home.

goddess, now winter will come.
goddess, now make me bloom."
