Phantom Pulsations

There's blood
in the milk;

a satin coffee stain
from a styrofoam cup
on a newspaper
is sick
nostalgia;

childhood anxiety
that runs
in the deepest abyss
of your stomach.

I bit the inside of my lip
until I tasted blood,

but I had siphoned
so much of the night

my blood had turned black

running invisible
beneath the stars.
