Itches, the second scratches.

The millionth cracks bone.

Up your nose and down your throat

To eat your insides

Seven years back, I performed in an immersive launch of Resident Evil VII - two weeks of (slowly) chasing gamers with blunt objects and eating dried locusts. Fun days.

An insatiable hunger

A devouring swarm.

Dante’s Inferno, gluttony’s bolus chewed,

Devour cousins unknown metamorphous.

Pharaohs armies, Godzilla, King Kong

Throngs unleashed on endorphins call to die.

Eat or be eaten

Air fryer crackles and crisps

Sweet honey dipping

The swarm grows ever larger

I feel so so small

They moved like a cloud,

Raining death, gorging themselves,

Till nothing was left... 😎
