it will happen to you, too

slithery slimy creepy crawling
things under my skin
stealing my bodily fluids
filled with precious nutrients and
the foundations of life
new life springs forth
my blood the foundations of
life emerging from this rotting corpse
this rotting corpse serving the dead
serving the living
serving the greater purpose
of interacting beings
of greater power
of interacting purpose
of greater beings
of interacting power of
beings greater than me
