Red
A red dress billows around her,
Cascading out from her waist.
Waves of rich red satin
Pool at her feet.
The dress is clearly too long,
As she melts into the floor.
Her face is pale and serene.
Her lips are stained scarlet red.
Her eyes are darkened by the mascara
From the night before.
She stares through the window
Speckled with rain.
The street below, empty
Except for a single black car
Pulling away from her.
