even if she sacrificed herself.

Likes to braise a bandaged stump,

but where is that coming from?

tasted like dirt and ash, causing her
to eat her own flesh.

#hunger

A thousand years past
and still the hunger drives me
to rip them apart.

Hunger in the mirk,
Vampires of the bog will drag
You under with them.

Lost alone in the woods,
in the dead of night, something frightful
followed with an echoing hiss.

Blood spattered grimoire
Left upon the altar, bones
Where bodies should be.

Grandmother’s grimoire
is breathing beneath floorboards,
asking to be fed.
