In the lamplight's glow, as the city slept,

Out from the safe old shelter, into the streets

I strode, with silent footfalls searching,

My needs simple, my hunger deep.

You crossed my path, flitting,

Floating over macadam,

Flowing over a wall

But for one moment, you paused.

And in your eyes I saw it,

That same hunger, deep and wild,

And I knew, ere you slipped into the shadows

That we were too alike.

We twilight hunters two, each seeking,

in the gray pre-dawn our quarry

Did but for one passing moment 

Smile upon our kin!
