The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
Ten demons sit at a table, playing
cards, gossiping & drinking with empty
plates strewn across the table. They all run
hot, frankly, there's a fight every evening
& this is probably going to be
a scary one. You see, Mastema cheats
& in twenty minutes Varuna will
catch him at his devil's work. The cards are
on their backs again & the waitress walks
by, dodging those lecherous looks, almost
as if they are not ashamed, but they are
awake, hissing in the dark, these are songs,
that sound slurred and unsteady, drinking songs,
well, almost songs, sung by inhuman tongues
