i wish this would be your colour

Silene dioica
red campion

It's not the red of the dying sun
The morning sheets surprising stain
It's not the red of which we bleed
The red of cabernet sauvignon
A world of ruby all in vain
It's not that red
It's not that red
It's not that red
It's not that red

an earlyish walk/swim for meatbag to avoid the crowds of folk who will no doubt be out bbqing this sunny day
