words by dominic riccitello

i sway with blue
twine in red
we became purple
a vibrant hue
weights which couldn’t move
i said hello
to a starlight horror
who said goodbye 
with a whisper far from here
i spoke his name
the lust from the tip
of my tongue
my arms which grasped
the fear only the devil could hear
i ran with a nakedness
too far from blue
bathed in red
with an appeal too sensual
for even my frankest fears
