The small cup
Glass and round
Pour the hot water
Bright red spreads to the concave edges.
Raspberry Rendezvous;
Blood like a period
Clotting like bruised skin
Add one lump,
Watch the Sugar slowly dissolve.
Stir like a potion
Keep watch of the cauldron.
Raspberry Rendezvous;
Now a dark red
And waiting to drink.
Hold the cup with a hand,
Blow a light kiss
Sweetness cuts the tongue
as Vampires love the blood.
Remove the bag
Leaves like lost children in a sac
Drained of their amniotic fluid
Numbed after a miscarriage.
Sip it again
I want more
Raspberry Rendezvous;
Gone once again
Pour the scorching water,
Dip the bag,
The feast begins, again.
