How Suggestive! (ænemia)
I lapped at his blood
warm wine staining my teeth
Sweet and metallic
sticky beneath my
fingernails and
pooling in the cavern
of his silent sternum
It sings at the curve of
his throat
frothing madly
For he surrendered
that column of vertebræ
pathetically
bargaining pints
for kisses
slowly
because he liked it
And I gave it to him
again and again
in saccharine parasitism
warm wine staining my teeth
Sweet and metallic
sticky beneath my
fingernails and
pooling in the cavern
of his silent sternum
It sings at the curve of
his throat
frothing madly
For he surrendered
that column of vertebræ
pathetically
bargaining pints
for kisses
slowly
because he liked it
And I gave it to him
again and again
in saccharine parasitism

A slow seductive death, fitting. You've got great subject matter, an excellent vocabulary, and after reading about 20 of your poems; you're a great writer. it always makes me mad to see poems with no comments when they've been read. keep'em coming.
