When Sue Wears Red

When Susanna Jones wears redHer face is like an ancient cameoTurned brown by the ages.

Come with a blast of trumpets,Jesus!

When Susanna Jones wears redA queen from some time-dead Egyptian nightWalks once again.

Blow trumpets, Jesus!

And the beauty of Susanna Jones in redBurns in my heart a love-fire sharp like pain.

Sweet silver trumpets,Jesus!
