• Twirling around
    changing into another
    completely
    a splash of black clothing
    vivid makeup
    and the change is complete
    A new look
    A new personality
    entering the ballroom
    you recognize all
    behind the masks,
    the makeup,
    but none can
    recognize you
    Going home
    you take off the costume
    straight to bed
    Waking up
    you go to a mirror
    you are no longer yourself
    red eyes
    black hair
    pale skin
    razor-sharp teeth
    a new kind of
    thirst.
