This poem has intrigue to it, the mood is dark and eerie- I can feel it pulling me in. Only problem is this feels more like the first few lines of a murder mystery than it does a poem. It has poem potential, it really does- I just think that the metaphors need to made more clear, another thing to is that although this is a dark poem, I feel that it gets  to be a bit to much, especially around the part where the man drinks his own nose blood to quench his thirst, that was... eugh- took me out of it. Overall strengths are that the poem had mood, it has intrigue, and it pulls me in, overall weaknesses ard that it is too dramatic, I'm not sure what to think or feel at the end, and I was confused about 'the corpse' as well. Hope I could help!!
