J.J. Campbell

with the blood of a virgin or two

another day with 
only four hours 
of sleep
 
i’m sure the wax 
from that candle 
will burn me one 
of these days
 
but until then
enjoy the pain
 
trace your scars 
with the blood 
of a virgin or 
two
 
laugh in the face
of danger 
 
and remember 
there is no better 
taste than a well 
earned death
