Gyroscope Review 15-3 | Page 33
Red vs. Blue
by Lita Kurth
Red, the ink of reprimand
Blue, the calm assignment
Red spills
Blue smooths
how it lasts
lingers in a day-long sky
heavy-light
heaven of anxious eternity
Red was a flame-blood-flag
Red is not tired
It cuts, suffuses, stands
explodes, falls down, and kisses
Purple doesn’t unite them
They are wrong who say so
No, purple walks out alone
in velvet, gems, and crown
