Vermillion

Vandals laughing on the neon painted paper walls

Ever the shallow mind just waiting for another high

Resting never in the smudging of red spray paint

Miles upon miles every shade of red from coral to ruby

I now see what seeing red is just blinding in the lights

Loving the watermelons to carve into the sharp satin

Leaving behind the wildfires and redflags a plenty

Ions in the streetlights to glow and paint the red in new colors

Overflowing to consume everything above and below

Nighttime cherry sweetened but only from a far
