Vampires

They’re all vampires
They want to suck you
They’re all vampires
They’re hidden in veils
They’re waiting for you
Behind their couches

And they’re in bottles
And they’re in armchairs
In my pen
And they’re in bottles

They wait
Like old friends
Couched in hedges
On sunny days
On my dime doorstep
With my sister

They want me
They want you too
You know I want you
They’re all vampires

They’re waiting
In affection
Dissatisfaction
They look so brave
They seem so strong
They spring from four letter words
They lead you by the tail
I love their secrets
We’re all vampires…
