Tickle my tendons and pinch my veins.
You do all the things
Others have tried and failed.
You have burrowed through skin
Slipped through sinew
Nestled in platelets
Wallowed in aqueous humour.
There are no places you do not reach
No part of me that does not contain you.
I am your vessel and you are in mine.
Leave and I deflate.
I become a carcass in the heat.
A forgotten piece of meat.
Forgotten and rotten.
So please continue to infest,
To consume.
Leave nothing for the maggots.
