Primal Longing


Am I being mad?   
Am I being insane?
                   Wishing to feed                         
                                      upon your warm brain,
                                                    so shortly after your death,                         
                                      and suck out all your blood,                                          
                                                              from your very veins.   

Am I being insane?   
Am I being insane?              
                   Wanting to imbibe                         
                                        all that you embody,                         
                                        all that you contain                                             
                                                                        inside,                         
                                        all that goodness                                  
                                                      you used to maintain,        
         so I can remove                 
                       that accursed stain of civility,                       
                              from deep within my very depths,                      
                              from my very noddy,                                   
                                                     innermost,                                    
                                                     vesicular                                            
                                                                    membranes;        
         so I can disdain                  
                       what we might become                               
                                                without each other;        
         so I can remain                 
                            so truly after you departure,                                               
                                                                       sane.                                              
                                                                       Sane.
