(A Taste of Blood)

a harmless accident, really
a taste of blood
and my mind folds in
upon itself once more
carrying me back
pigs!
all of them
and the taste of blood
the feel of its tackiness
against my skin
and they are all there
surrounding me
taunting, jeering
dogs!
piss on it
and the taste of urine
defiles my mouth
coats my vocal cords
making it impossible
even to moan aloud
horses!
slime covered
filth encrusted
lying in the mire
with memories
all because of
a taste of blood
