My Bleeding Wound Is Itching by Sia Moon

...
Agnus dei! I’m somer-saulted 
into an assailable headstand when

silk alabaster drips from my wounds
and my eyes thirst for salt 

Agnus dei! is screamed when
i’m hung on the street corner’s

pole for all to pet
Agnus dei! 

when spit flings from my fangs,
I lick my wounds
...
