New Year's Eve
by mrhungry

The ancient one
watches from far above
the pulses of life beckoning
from throngs of revelers as they wait

New Year's Eve
the City that Never Sleeps
never sleeps! ha! he can relate
the centuries pass without a wink

So many, so many
a few would not be missed
to sate his hunger, to sate his thirst
quick and painless, they would not suffer

This night of rebirth
will not bring with it death
appetites can be satisfied on the first
for now, he closes his eyes and bathes
in the pulses of life that surround him
