A Tune of Teeth

Each inch,
the teeth, the Teeth,

the fangs,
each inch,

each fragment of an inch,
each fraction of an inch,

each micro-motion
requires permission.

They ask
your life’s blood
and therefore

they need,
they ask
permission.

NIP!

____

An alternate thought:

The reason a Vampire needs permission
is because heart’s blood
makes no pretentions
towards being anything less
than heart’s blood.

That’s why
the Vampire
needs permission
to enter

your throat:

your blood
is too important
to be given away
thoughtlessly.
