Red Delight

The most beautiful Pensive

Is a rainy red light -

Rainy lead night -

Cast in blue, cast in red

Je peux pense en le paix

My tongue need not know the

Translation to feel the words’ way.

I feel soft,

Looking at this

Blinking urban lighthouse.

The street gives scent like childhood evening

‘Summertime Sadness’ is coming

through the backseat speakers

Blink - blink - blink

No tick - tock - tick of time

I turn left.
