The birth of a vampire

Fancy robes
Covering bodies
With deep wounds
Oozing thick, dark blood
And they use the color of their own blood
To create patterns
On the cloth
That covers them
…fashion!

Each one bleeding…
Gasping... in pain.
But a cry will be a weakness
So a laughter comes out instead
Walking, with a glass in one hand
A cigarette in another
A smile pasted on the lips
The city carries one day to another 
…An art! 

 Each one searching hard
Walking through piles of men and women 
gathered around the bar 
A glass in one hand 
A cigarette in another 
Smoke blurring out the pain 
As they walk through the doors 
Again and again 
Sifting through one another 
…A search! 

Then the bell rings 
The spider feels a tingle 
The web vibrates 
A prey… 

They drool in silence 
Waiting for it to get sucked by the city 
A fly now trapped 
In the web 
The spider moves swiftly 
Finishes off the meal 
And waits for the next 
… kill! 

But spiders are not vampires. 
 They wait for the city to trap the new prey 
Then they move in 
Gyrating, slithering, smoking... 
A glass in one hand 
A cigarette in another 
Touch, caress, feel, pull
And then the final bite… 
A wound that will bleed forever 
Another vampire is born 
Celebrations! 
Another glass 
Another cigarette 
...sifting through piles of bodies 
Every night 
Another endless search 
To find oneself.
