Chupa-chupas
Star lights,
Earthward falling
offspring of distant suns
plummet through dark skies suffering
hunger.
Beings
from worlds beyond
human belief prowl this
steamy Brazilian night searching
for prey.
Savage
spirits glimmer
above my veranda,
flashing green and red as they stalk
their game.
Pulsing
satisfaction,
glittering entities
catch me in crimson beams to drain
my life.
Fell fire
sets flesh ablaze
while ionised blood boils.
Ebbing vitality feeds those
fey lights.
