I stepped on broken glass slivering on the petals Blood oozed out of the slits I drank the pools of red liquid Tasting the power surge through lazy bones In one side and out the other Collapsing an artery and filling a gut I ran and caused more slits in my feet Sleeping and awaking in a cascade of blood Licking it up off the floor like a demented fly A grin of pure joy slippered across my face
