Haiku: medicine

The wise woman stirs
Herbs to heal my wife—or does
The witch brew poison?

Haiku: dragon

A huge green dragon
With a nipple as its tongue
Coiled around her chest

Lovepain of Eternal Night

The Velvet Vampire fanzine
Issue XV, Winter 1991

My first publication (as far as I can remember) was a short poem about a vampire who loved mortal women but refused to save them beyond the span of their natural lives. Probably quite adolescent--given my age at the time!
