Metamorphosis

This thirst...

I cannot quench. 

My stomach growls,

craving a taste I have never known.  

Through the darkness, I go 

with the feeling -- I am not alone. 

Where have they gone? 

Who is here, watching me? 

Something moved.  

I saw the shadow. 

Curiosity sets in -- I have to know. 

Another, waiting for me. 

Now, I know the taste.
