THOSE PUNISHING EYES
Vampires beguile the unwary
with grins that beam the absence of peril.
How submissively trusting of strangers
to bare their throats on dark cobblestone
streets!
Not till the fanged perforation spouts blood
do mortal offspring piece together
their bloody demise, those punishing eyes
ablaze with last reflections, time’s halting
long enough to recruit another living dead.
