close your soft lips
against my wrist
drink from my pain
seal the ragged wounds
that my teeth have torn
against my skin
where I've gouged myself
so you can drink the life
I give to you
against my wishes
Drink
my blood, your water
sweeter than wine
arm held out straight
in stoic love, to you
against my heartbeat
Drink
blood of my blood
you can gain your life
against my own
*Drink
