I am readng vampire tales;
avoiding non-fiction brought
me to this acceptable form
of red and gore and body parts
as entertainment. To distract,
to immerse the mind in an
exqusite dark.
.
Beauty in black and white
as a thematic choice, red
sheeted for contrast, here
the Master of the City
drips from pen to page,
materializes as too lovely
to be ignored, too powerful
from experienced centuries,
a sweetie.

In love, surrounded by more
magic than should be allowed,
he succumbs to whimsy, to wit
and smiles, breaking hearts
of humans everywhere. Ma Petite
has proven a sorceress who
raises the dead as a career, who
slays monsters. How could he
not love and trust her?
