Clinging to the corner, The ceiling, The unused room upstairs, The dusty cellar basement; Lurking in the shadows, Cringing from the light. Retreating for now But returning later, Stronger, faster, Harder to ignore. Long, gangly, sickly; Short, stocky, powerful; Tiny, flitting, wispy; Huge, full, pervasive. Cunning, plotting, patient. Always there, Always watching, Always waiting.

Temptation
Clinging to the corner, The ceiling, The unused room upstairs, The dusty cellar basement; Lurking in the shadows, Cringing from the light. Retreating for now But returning later, Stronger, faster, Harder to ignore. Long, gangly, sickly; Short, stocky, powerful; Tiny, flitting, wispy; Huge, full, pervasive. Cunning, plotting, patient. Always there, Always watching, Always waiting.
