Soothsayer in Red Catch up to her, the sweater wearing manifestation of your thoughts, before she enters the convenience store Tell her, “No, no, that’s not where we’re going today, where we’re going, the dark is red-- fold of rose, sharper than pomegranate juice-- In the pitch of night it is not black you see, but red.” Tell her that, and more, to keep her from going into her learned darkness, which is repetitive and no more defines her than a memorized chord defines a virtuoso guitarist.
