The awakening
Up the hills
through the forest
past the valley.
through another forest
then down into the cave.
almost eight o'clock
i must hurry!
for he awakes
deeper into the cave.
i know it by heart
no need of light
" Darling" i hear him whisper
" I'm coming." i speak back.
"Please hurry! I thirst!"
i enter the domed room
his cell in the middle
The pile of blood bags by the door
he's waiting, slowly
Awakening.
