as loud as hell
a ringing bell
behind my smile

it shakes my teeth
and all the while
as vampires feed

i bleed

prithee, my dear,

why are we here
nobody knows
we go to sleep

as breathing flows
my mind secedes
i bleed


there's a place
in the buried west

in a cave
with a house in it
in the clay

the holes of hands
you can place
a hand in hand

in bleed
