Expressing my fear of geckos!
You were hiding under the table
when I invoked the light
and put an end to your evil.

As you slipped into another shadow
you passed by me,
stopping briefly to wink at me,
but your tricks which tormented me
at childhood
are no longer potent in the light,
and your darkness is too small
to frighten me now.

But I did not hear what you said
and my fear followed you,
to resurrect
wherever you may appear
again.
