Bloodletter | K.G. Munro

I am the medicine for his insanity

My name stains his letters. Inescapable. 

Irreplaceable. Just haemoglobin. 

For his shadows that linger on 

As he takes a sip from the cusp of my skin

Draining my life so that he can live

Using his tears to write me letters

His own blood paints my initials

He wears a wig; I wear a bible

Wedding ring gone. He is mine – a lamb.
