Anstey - There's an interesting slightly stalkery feel to this. I'm not a fan of the exclamation point in L8. The 'scarlet' ... I also wonder about, is she drunk? Is this a surrealist sort of image? In L12, I think you could delete the word 'words' -- it'd tighten that up a bit. I do think the repetitions generally work here, and the end-line is also pretty cool.
Jen - What I go from this is that the aunt passed away and visited you as a scarlet bird and made you think of your friend. I'm probably wrong but I like this anyway:)
Beautifulwarrior - Thanks for your input, both of you! This writing was from a conversation with a friend who shared with me that their deceased aunt visits when hope or comfort is needed.
