I wanted to taste it

ghoulish woman popped her head out of the lily pond
there were screams from those who had not sensed her
being part Dracula and part ghoul, I knew the macabre was about

another scream;
I noticed what she was holding
a fleshed-off skull, human,
my werewolf side could smell last dollops of blood
I wanted to taste it now
