Kashiku Monologue from The vampire cat

From The vampire cat by Gerard Van Etten

Not kiss him? O TOYO. I think not I shall kiss him. I would not pain his slumbers-- He has paled so and his face is so thin. In the night he lies like a strong flower And a strange flower, bled of its life-- Like a strong flower weakened. And at its sight my dreams are bitter. But as I gaze a change comes over all things And I hold in my hands a beautiful flower Which I kiss with my lips Holding my lips long to it, Draining its sweetness. And a cloud passes over And on my lips are clots of blood!
