the darkness of light & vice versa, human sacrifice & the magic of youth

Let me drink your blood
or, better yet, sleep serenely
tired by the bland liqueur
that we bought by mistake
but drank anyway
with frowns & laughs & word games
shallow questions & deep gazes

You’re excellent at playing spontaneity
even better at pretending to sleep
almost as good as me
playing a long lost lover
considerate & stern
away from you
i dream of drinking your blood

You’re exceptional at sleeping, i have to note
even better at falling asleep
away from me
away from the world and things i don’t know
you’re good at dreaming, i can almost feel
i almost know, because i see
the night in your hair
flowing down your naked shoulders
