Have you ever felt a hunger
		neither food nor drink
			can quell?
	Have you ever sunk your teeth
		into some... thing..
			not for hunger or taste’s sake-
	But for the pure feel of your teeth
		sinking in?	
			rending - biting - devouring....

	Have you ever dreamt of blood?
		thrill of the hunt?
			scent of fear?
	Have you ever felt a Life
		and wanted to feel it’s aching ebb?
			feel its power released?
	And like wine...
		drink it into your being--
			drink it up?

	Have you ever craved LIFE?
		Life other than your own?
			any life?
	Essence of Life
		Flowing hot  crimson
			brilliant-chilling blood.
	Have you ever, Truly, felt Hunger?
