worm

by Travis G Finborg

blood leaks in drips
from a wound on my foot
it leaches into my white sock
spreads a red stain fiber by fiber

a pain rises, as I stare in fascination
I remove the sock to reveal the slit in my flesh
inside a worm squirms
i reach down to pinch his head

i pull on the glistened head
a flash of pain strikes me down
a fecund voice emits from his alien mouth
a language i cannot comprehend in my horror

i pass out in a fit of incomprehension
to awake hours later
I look down to see the wound closed

Author's Note: I dont know whats going on with this one. Maybe Ive been watching too much david lynch. But then again, one can never watch too much david lynch.
