Red As A Bell (Redux)

Dec 2

I'm dredging up this Oldie (originally published in April 2015, online at the now-defunct Local Nomad) in response to Sue & Gerry's Weekly Prompt Colour Challenge: RED.

Sadly, I think it still works today, eh?

---------[||]---------

Red As A Bell

Red as a bell
he thought
Red as a wagon
      redder than anger
      & wet
Thicker than water

Something buzzed
      startled by shadows
Particles of dust
centuries old
would not settle there

He turned the corner
in a glint of final steel
      foreign faces followed
There was a feeling
no one knew what to think
any more

Horizons away
Hollywood imagined it differently
Horizons away
Mars was half swung round
      in the midnight sky

The world was half asleep
