Just for once imagine
that red was out there
as if you did not know
what red was
and you would have to
invent it to describe
the chirp of some
unseen red bird
or the glimpsed lining in
an open human mouth
Hints of open flame
and embers
and of course most unseen
a racing heart
Wouldn’t you say
what you see
would be as red
as all of those and
in spite of any lack
of precedent would you not
know at once
that this sound is red
