Who lies in deepest cave
vampire like twisted away from outside sun-swept light
longing for death
blood and love
sucked from marrow's neck?
How deep is Swooning's Need
to suck teeth
from vampire lips
expediting sexual egress
to have all in Swain's Grip;
immortality, death
love's lust and blood veins
punctured thus,
living death
this must be
to greet
thereby cheating death lustily
is most
and all to please
in these "Seduction of the Vampire
Times."
dedicated to Lust's Needs
for vampire cave living.

and emotional challenge; i'm not going to
interpret and try to 'make sense' of each and every
line and phrase like a hard-pressed (and poor) reviewer
who has to justify his monthly stipend to an exacting editor,
but rather go with the feel the poem elicits, and a feel it
certainly elicits deep within.
Demanding and splendid.
