It’s the monsters who come out of the light
that are the most fearsome,
but those that sneak up from the dark
are the ones we fear the most,
even though they’re smaller,
and often as afraid as we are.
That’s why they
hide and sneak
in the dark places.
The ones hiding in the sunlight
are the more difficult to see
and the most monstrous.
They lie in wait
blending in
and waiting,
waiting to pounce
and destroy
destroy
us all
to destroy
all.
