30x30: day 3. red Our Lost Jungle



Red is no lady
she’s wise cracking
gum chewing
a long inhalation of smoke
exhaled slowly in your face
sexy and brazen
Confidant, cocky, strong as
espresso in a dainty cup.

    I love those last two lines "strong as / espresso in a dainty cup"-- that captures so much of who this "she" is in such a tight, vivid image space!
