on the green hill of bones when you were wearing your green crown I watched you trim your hedges lord you are so strong and red I thought you were the new king of kites so I let myself run like rabbits and war red into shallow rivers blue into the mean blue sun

my mouth is a cave and
when I learned to stand still
you spoke a language of bats
we are bright     we are bright
you are the only flashlight
I've ever met and
I want to go swimming and
I run, I am red and blue

skin me and run me up
paint me with your boar bristle eyes
paint me pink at dawn
I can hold you in my hand
I can hold myself too but
get out your brushes
get out your crown
I'll go anywhere but no
where, say we'll go to Tunis,
to Bangladesh, everywhere. Be bright
be my brightness
and see through my tattooed eyes
in the dark    under leaves
I am running red for you

-Tay
