She had a fever as hot as the sun
So hot it set countries aflame
And drowned islands in her sweat
Eventually her hair started to fall out
And scabs of concrete began crawl all over her body
The doctor said she had parasites
Devouring her slowly
Intelligent creatures, he called them
Spreading like butter and building cities in her skin
He didn’t tell her, but the parasites will eat her
And when they’re done sucking the bones
They’ll eat each other
Personally, I don’t think we’ll last that long
