Couplingscent

I smell it like spilled spirits

Her room’s telling lyrics hinted ribaldries

One last pyrrhic tryst. A final taste of her dribbled electricity.

One glass of fear-fearing milk I kill to muster the silken steel

She requires from me. A choir of words potent magically

Spoken over a glyph spoked seal from Solomon’s psalter

Confined to the threshold

With the vampire, the shit dog and the falterer.
