Haibun: Red

 Some may say red is the color of violence and blood.

Others may say red is the color of passion, like, “just look at her red, voluptuous lips!” (Some lips, I might agree.)

I have been known to say red is the color of fire when I’m in the mountains of Upstate New York…

…But my sight is beginning burned into these red Sonoran mountains. Red is becoming my color for home. “Home” because it’s now how this desert says “Good night!”

sunset red is fire:

color mountain acquired, burnt in.
