three years

[August 2008]
to distracted to notice
a dark song of bloodletting
a leech with two mouths
one for excretion
the other for clinging

[May 2011]
it fell to the ground
in a slow, lugubrious motion
turgid pink and winter-blue veins
across its stretched flesh
it will not feed again for three years
