Shiver An Evile that lives in my spine Like a snake it flicks out it’s tongue I wide eyed glare I control this beast that lurks within my mind Hiding in the crevices lest it be torn out and cast aside if found It stands like the child that ate the cookie in the kitchen A pool of dark murky water Waiting patiently for the one moment it can emerge and devour the insect that lands upon it   Dark Pools   R David Paine III 08/12/03 7:50am
