Worms

Worms

by Thomas J Misuraca

I can feel them
Crawling inside me

Worms

I have no idea how they got there
Or what damage they’ll do

Are they eating me from the inside out?
Or have they made their home in my organs?
And my bowels

Hoping one day to meet
The worms that will eat
Me from the outside in
