Beast In The Night

In the negative

spaces

I find you

small,

tender, so wild.

♦

In the cold

darkness

you

linger

kiss the chill, touch the vile .

♦

With razors and

knives

you

love me,

bleed and drain my ichor.

♦

You feed on my lust, drain

my pain, and

birth another,

your successor.
