the Beast

There’s this hole in me

It’s infinite

I am infinity

And this bed is a web

And I am stuck in its sticky sheets

That are weaving in and out of the crevices of my body

 

And my ceiling fan is growing legs

And eight beady, focused eyes

That are hovering over me with malicious intent

And my floor is twenty stories below me

Filled with the echoes of lost dust bunnies

Who can’t save me from the beast

 

This hole is still gaping

And it’s hungry; ravenous

I am the beast

And I can’t save me from myself
