A poem a day for 2013 - day 186 - Reading red

This morning I thought about red 

I don't know why red

But red

Is it odd 

To wake up and think about colors

A color

And just like that

I was awake

Again

From some sleep

Before

This good kind of good good high from somewhere

I painted my nails

Blue

Toes too

I wore earrings 

Gold

And bracelet

Red

And lipstick

Red

And all around me red glowed

Stop sign

Traffic light

Brakes

Jiffy Lube

The Von's truck

The same red that would have been there 

Anyway

Was sign like sound and God 

Today

And so tomorrow what if I wake up and think blue

Will blue follow me too

Like moon like memory

Then on Monday what if umbrellas

What if love

What if relief 

What if joy

What if I wake and think always

Will I always always

What if I wake up and wish this good good

Could always always me

Would that be too much

To want
