Bloodlines<br />
Edward DelSole<br />
Penetrated<br />
veins entwined.<br />
Mosquito,<br />
drink what is mine<br />
and make scarlet<br />
our corporeal sum.<br />
Ventricle fed,<br />
this bloodline<br />
perpetuates our connection<br />
as daughters will drink<br />
from daughters.<br />
Is it through some<br />
ancient grace<br />
that this blood tongue<br />
tastes <strong>of</strong> the dust<br />
from our parents?<br />
Oh, murderous hand<br />
on blood soaked land,<br />
and goodbyes<br />
to our daughters, mothers,<br />
and our ferrous connection.<br />
