On a dark, starless night
you can feel the creepy things
settling into their
watching places.
They watch all manner of things
preparing for the day
when they can imitate
the living.

On a dark, well lit night,
you can see the crawly ones
scamper from one dark hole
to the next.
They scurry closer and closer
trying to get a sniff
of the scent of life
and the living.

On the night of a full moon
you can see the shadows cast
by the crooked ones
bent like tortured branches.
They scratch furtively
at your window,
trying to touch the warm
hand of the living.

Just before the break of dawn,
the tortured will sink
back down to the below
from which they came.
They sigh longingly,
for that which they observe,
whimpering pathetically
as they turn their backs on the dawn.

The imagery is wonderful...made me wish it were dark so I could peek back at the crawlies peeking at me...

 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...
