A cinquain

Here's a cinquain I wrote after a recent medical visit:
Its sharp
point ouched into
my skin, my blood flowing
through its body into vials — three?
Hurting.
I partially followed Adelaide Crapsey's approach to writing cinquains. Here's how many syllables each line has:

L1: 2
L2: 4
L3: 6
L4: 8
L5: 2
