The Flea

To me this poem is about two people having sex and the fact that the "flea" is a mix of their "two bloods mingle," which makes me think that this flea is a child? Born from their sex and created from their blood. It also talks about "maidenhead" so somebody lost their virginity. "The flea is you and I" which adds to the fact that the "flea" is part of the person and the narrator. Also, it makes me think of abortion or killing of something? "Three sins in killing three." It makes me think that the woman would kill herself, which would kill the baby as well, because the baby was conceived out of wedlock. This suicide might cause the narrator to become suicidal as well.
