Description
a materialistinside of you
unknitting your sweater
& in your dream
you are a wolf eating
a flower in an orange field. the world
is ending. an unnamed girl stains you
as if she were tea
giving up to a
foaming ocean.
she writes a story: the unrequited
blurry visions of two visionaries
separated by antibiotic resistance.
I'm sorry we have nothing left
to say to one another tonight
& for our past together
having a lace quality to it.
we drink from a jar as
big as the republic;
we disagree, yet we
carry on with it.

Wonderful! Your imagery is dream-like, ripe and inspiring. I may try to paint this.

your enjambment is always spot-on. also as always, your non-linear thought and feeling draws me further in.

"Symptoms of red" is such an intriguing title - like the sensation of a color is a disease you might have.
And this materialist inside of me sounds like a jerk. Is it Richard Dawkins? I bet it's Richard Dawkins, he's such a jerk. I needed that sweater to stay warm in this cold and uncaring world.
ANTWAY this an interesting, interesting poem.

What do you even say to praise something like this... beautiful? Awesome? Spellbinding? Tugging-at-the-heartstrings level of thoughtfulness?

The interpretation of words to mean just what you need them to is so poetic
I adore this.
