do you remember me?
  I Am your cancer cell
malignant
  malicious
buried
  gorging

i am
your own poison
toxic to you
Alone
(“drink me,” it whispers)

peruse galleries of obscurity
nothing is right

i am
a kiss from your villain
a door with a crack
(letting darkness in)
a hesitant glance
a viscera-viewing mirror


and
remorse
