Vampire Detox
written by: Carrie Magness Radna

I’m not an emotional vampire
(anymore)
but all the rest of the damned ones
still want a piece of me,
as if I were a blood clot
& I’m not
having it or them anymore.
I can shoot holes
into everything I’ve done,
but sometimes I end up
shooting myself in the dark—
& when the spark
lights up the page
& my consciousness,
I feel alive!
I’ll even up the score,
but I don’t want those assholes around
to muddy up my head.
I wait in the dark
for a killing—
for a worthy sacrifice.
