Night Creatures

Like a gecko, that one changes their colours speaks in tongues long then short blue climbing up and down walls clicking translating the draconians’ poetic profusions all are night creatures in the absence of light fluctuations they scurry along the cracks over the white and the black 5 fingers 5 toes, quite quite reptilian, efficient in the chosen environment, useful, amusing a muse, then, when the mourning sun rises, contradictory, scurrilous, misplaced, undeniably ugly, yet cute Night creatures, light framed lone vigils, velvet skinned strict vigilantes on all fours preying Carthusian monks nakedly bathed in absinthe chartreuse through their clicking chants, looking for true through the glass onion peeling back layers shedding skin on a wall 5 fingers, 5 toes amusing a muse Candide Diderot. ‘24 sadeness. enigma.

“Those who are unhappy clutch at shadows, and to give themselves an enjoyment that truth refuses them, they artfully bring into being all sorts of illusions.”

“Oh, there are plenty of people," the Duc used to observe, "who never misbehave save when passion spurs them to ill; later, the fire gone out of them, their now calm spirit peacefully returns to the path of virtue and, thus passing their life going from strife to error and from error to remorse, they end their days in such a way there is no telling just what roles they have enacted on earth.

Such persons," he would continue, "must surely be miserable: forever drifting, continually undecided, their entire life is spent detesting in the morning what they did the evening before. Certain to repent of the pleasures they taste, they take their delight in quaking, in such sort they become at once virtuous in crime and criminal in virtue.”
