R L Stevenson’s in blacker type.




The Man grew out of a quest…vainglory

and he would Hyde
behind the shadows.
bulbous nose, scowls
pock marks, all arising
as if by magic
to spoil the handsome
face of doctor jekyl.
just take a dose of elixer
and adventures occur.
inhuman strength.
malevolence
crimes and public disorder.
a remedy and a rest
brought things back and stable.
in the beginning times at least.

(Stevenson’s dark Edinburgh alleys and monsters. got into novelist ian rankin as well)*
