light distorts 

perception

sunspots blinding until 

a tree skeleton

awake as a waking ghoul 

A drop of blood marking a section break

the vampire is unfathering

bright colors

and knows no summer 

end 

A drop of blood marking a section break

someone you know to be vampiric 

writes weird love poems 

in her sleep

A drop of blood marking a section break

the body expels specters 

slowly 

over time

A drop of blood marking a section break

the vampire is born by night

without a sound

birth and birth

a chosen thing

sheltered by demons

low light

we come through

A drop of blood marking a section break

under downcast eyes 

vampires evanesce 

the vampire is a dream 

of disarray 

the vampire misses a time

she didn’t know

a former life

a bridge there
