Flarfy Vampiric Meditations in an Emergency

Do you have unusually pale skin?

Is your room the coldest darkest place?

When mounds of documents arrived in the coppice

I was just a pile of closed-minded fictions

Can you hear a whisper from across a room?

This amulet is not made for posers, vamps or notaries

Every time my heart turns bane I wish to sleep all day

But one night there will be no more red -velvet poets

Rolling their eyes at blood obtained legally

Promising pennies, ketchup, V8, covert

Broken venom, and the real is not my friend

Find a willing donor and you are fixed

I was wonce in a copse where we lived with no death

Trees stood together. The room never darkened.

Conceptual Amulet

Often completely univalent and perspicacious

Utilizing auspicious matriarchy and symbiosis

Amulets were (and continue to be) made

For various purposes, e.g., to avert eviction or

Disembodiment, or to bring about ludicrous harrow

To send lummox to journey, or wantonness

Conceptual poise unites shilpits and idiolalla

Explode the aeolistic and prolix

Persons who funkify hirple and horbgorble

Believe they have the quidam to alter or affect

The worn around them. In this sense amulets

Can help us understand the human needle

To wend. and the universal

Concerts of hopple and bellows
