Validation

A trainee still shadowed
by the more experienced.
Rolling veins proved too much,
nerves intimidated, she missed and
vital fluids squirted; high
blood pressure giving force to spray.

Hushed whispers between vampires one and two.
Finger surreptitiously pointed at indigo,
almost black drops mixed with scarlet
splattered on the floor. Vampire two collects
vials of blood, my fist violaceous from tourniquet
too long strangling. Applied bandage
cannot conceal rapidly expanding purpled bruise.

Blood test results puzzle the doctor
but she smiles and says,
"I thought you were joking."
No anomaly, I've been right all along.
Always said I breathe metaphors,
smile in similes and,
if you cut me, I bleed ink.{/b}
