History Repeats

A Poem by Satish Verma
"

My killing instincts were intact.

"
My killing instincts
were intact.
On this bloody moon day―
I must talk to myself.

Just lips would move,
not the mind.

A mode of non-being
comes in fore. You watch the pansies dancing―
nonchalantly.

The air passes. White phosphorus
ignites on its own.

Memory alternates with pain.
It is not over.
We are still searching ourselves
in a mound of earth.

A bit confused on what it means. Is it about a vampire? I'm very curious to its meaning.
