Dracula Tastes a Modern Girl

By Becca Fang

she’s tart she’s tough

taurine and tattoo ink

she’s prickly she’s pulpy

plasma asphalt thick

she’s churned she’s curdled

coagulated treacle

she’s sickening she’s saccharine

sambuca and tequila

she’s noxious she’s noisome

nicotine dipped sherbet

she’s mildewy she’s mouldering

and full of microplastics
