This is just a great story-poem, which has a very 19th-c feel to it, imho. I love the detail--it's delightfully creepy.
this is creepy, we need more poems like this round here :) I love your use of language here, very descriptive, made me feel sort of Hellish, as in From Hell with johnny depp...add that to Taths absinth and you gotta wonderful cocktail, I do believe ;)
