Bright-blood swirls through lips again, whorling darkly
In nubs of tendril-tongue, splashed in worn-away
Spatters on pale, uncalloused, unDead palms.
Sleep is murdered now anew, pungent sleep
Where my hot blood can roil in peace.
Sleep dies—and haunted red-rimed eyes
Confront dark light, dark blood
Benighted memories
Of shrieks, cries,
Screams of pain—
Knife-blood release—
And steaming gouts
Of dankly
Crimson
Blood—

this poem is very concrete. the imagery of descriptions form a tooth that bites into the white space in this poem, like the vampire biting its victim

This is wonderful! Very fast and hard hitting with vivid image and feeling. At first I thought it was a nonet but with the extra lines; you got me. I have a feeling I'm going to learn a lot from you.
Love,

Thanks. I like to write poetry, but i think I enjoy even more talking about it, working with structures, figuring out what might make a strong line stronger.
