red-blue-red, part 5

if only a community of lungs
could work together
rise together
stop listening to father death
learn how to make good
even from the bad
knowing still
there's a blood promise
to be resolved
and sometimes
gasping for air
is all we have left

if you get there in time
smathers beach will look as blue
as any andaman dream
float instead of swim
let the tides hide
your true intentions

from the inside of a mango
the sun fades red
even at midnight
