Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Red

Everything is banging:
The mini-blinds in the den.
The black out shades in my bedroom.
The cords and boards and vents and pipes.
There is blowing in the hallway
and in the bathroom.
The heater is ticking like a bomb.
All that red,
glowing,
wanting to explode,
like me.
