-myself under quarantine
because
something sickly slithers
through folds & both lobes
corrupted electrical signals
thick knotted tunnels of meat
cardiac muscle & lit-up neon
hidden, coiled in darkness

I would have commented on this before, but as a young child I was traumatized by an eel kept inside a fish tank at a hotel restaurant. I return now, recovered from my temporary relapse.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the visuals they jump to in "House" when they're explaining what's wrong with a patient. The imagery is just as realistic to me, with this invading eel the culprit. You're tapping into a place not seen by most eyes, but the image is still clear.
