Unseen invasion

Eggs that nest within our flesh

Skitter crawl then die

In the cool, damp soil

In your season of death, friend

Here I am burrowed

(I wanted to use a kireji but I might like the finished product as is)

It’s beautiful! Very haunting.

I always struggle with kireji, this club is probably a good time practice.

My altered ego screams

Silent creeper crawls

Up a neck, toward an ear

Burrows deep inside

Underneath my skin
