A Speck of Red

[Lunar Knite]

A speck of red
Nearly invisible to the eye
Causes a gasp
As it falls,
Falls,
Falls.
A sudden faintness
Arrives at the sight
Of the spilled substance
As it lands,
Lands,
Lands.
A black blankness
Covering the eyes
At the realization
As it spreads,
Spreads,
Spreads.
A drop of ketchup
Tainting the white carpet
Condemns me
As it stains
Stains,
Stains.
