in this day and age
everyone's a vampire
and one must choose
which one gets to
sucks their life force out
falling out of her world
and into the weeping sea
paper elective, fights
on the streets and signs
with irrelevant words but
threatening and yearning
at the same time
got passion for no hearts
these days, and truths are
inside the blanks that no one
is brave enough to fill
but you know, everyone knows
what they are
whitened teeth and teeming
bending light and trying to find
the red in the bone of the finger
civilize a palace on top of the graveyard
and space is next
