Beetle blood is blue, not red, because it has copper instead of iron for oxygen transport ie no hemoglogin. Haven't you squashed a bug before?!!
Otherwise, nice poem. The imagery is rich and engages sight, sound "smashed", touch "ripped", smell "meat market", and taste. The metaphor is also kept in control. Well done.
