Suckle at my knuckle
A horsefly or two
Human blood for them
Seems the perfect brew
When they've had their fill
Their bellies quenched
My knuckles're left red raw
Like an overworked wench

Sleep II
Sleep
No need
Take heed
No need
For sleep
Light or deep
Sleep' for the weak
To 'sanity' keep
Sleep
For life
Eternity
Time divine
One day
Puff
Human decline
A powerful piece of poetry indeed. I think this verse demonstrates the fragility of humankind; every time we sleep we take a step closer to our demise - perhaps in our weakness to comprehend our own decline does it approach us. The triviality of the lexis 'puff' demonstartes the inability of humans to the feel compassion for their counterparts - not on the level of one's individual experience, but for humankind as a whole. Or do I just have sleep on my mind?
