Thick, deep, blazing
Salty, warm with the beating of life
Spilled across a brow, an innocent body
Slipping from a briar crown, from a splintered cross beam
Liquid like rose petals, plucked from an iron stem
Driven deep, piercing the feet that walked a sea
Reflecting heaven's fire, sinking till tomorrow
Hammered through hands
That gave the cardinal his feathers
The apple its shine
the twilight its light
Thick, deep, blazing
Red.
