Poem

VICTORIAN VIRTUE

Victorian virtue left bare -
ivory shoulders, pulsating neck

i hear the tinkle of chimes
and the brisk flapping of his cape

his sultry voice, rich and romantic,
hypnotic

suddenly the dagger of teeth
sink

into the darkest carafe of my neck
warning unheeded

i play back how i laughed so hard
at the spooky report

“Wear garlic, ye virgins!”
now my rose perfume

scents the hospital room
where he returns for moonshine elixir

as i die a slow death
and the centuries pass

and i sink my teeth
into my victims’ weep

my boots carry their ashes
the brisk wind sweeps them away
