Dark waters
Behind glass
Dark shapes
Covered in spines
And slime
As cold as death
No pretty tropical pets
Are these creatures
From my nightmares
They tap the glass
Until it breaks
And wakes
Me from my
Cold blooded nightmare.
~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman
Quiet words
A whisper in the night
The cracks of twigs
Wind sings
Through the
Oaks and darkness
A faint flash
From an overhead plane
The light of a porch
In the distance
You are not alone.
~ J aka VM
In the dark night
They listened
For the cry of the wolf
But more
The cracks of twigs
The rustle of leaves
The turn of a door nob
Against the lock
A break of glass
Then the scrape
Of a ladder
Against the house
He hid in the closet
In the space
Behind the walls
Only to be found
Eighty years later
A leather mummy of
A boy
Who wasn’t available
To answer the door
When his sister
Had lost
Her key
One cold
Winter
Night.

Child and grandparent as one, the grass grows taller as I run from the mad hunger of a caretaker-
How could the adults do that?
As you overthrew your father, and now fear what is coming?
Oh god of harvest, of season’s change, the irony that you in particular do not pick up-
That the cycle will continue and the sickle will fall.
~Adelia

I look into your eye sockets,
Right into your brain
And know you love me
Even if
Your heart is on your sleeve
Because you pinned it there
After it fell
out of your chest.
Your fangs
Glide along my neck
I wait
In anticipation
Then you move your lips to mine
Cold flesh on cold flesh
No fog of our breath
In the cold night
No pitter patter of a beating heart
Just your cold touch
Your cold heart
Icy passion
And your eternal love.
You sniff my butt
HA HA HA sorry guys…
Your faint glow
Stillness
Only you
Make me whole
And alive
Real
Solid
Feeling
Then together
We vanish
Into our world
Of shadows.
You wrap up my heart
In scented oils
And fine linen
Tight and binding
Forever
Until we meet
In another world
And rule the universe
Unwinding our love.

He stood in front of me
his neck a stump
without a head.
In his hand was a note
on expensive stationary
scrawled in rough cursive.
It said
I need
a HEAD.
To his delight
I took a gourd,
a pumpkin really,
and with a knife
carved a face
with eyes fierce
with pride
and a mouth
that smiled
not with joy
but with spite.
I put the pumpkin on his neck
then lit the candle within
and told him
“Go find another. I’m tired of loving a man who is always losing his head over nothing.”
