the desire to taint him, tear out
his innocence and his duty and his honor;
her fear and everything she’s borne
is emerging in greed so violent it tastes of sin
of blood
soaking
sacred
earth.

Nice effect with the single-word lines at the end. They create a sense of both emphasis and trailing off when I read, perfect for image of slowly seeping blood.
