23.9.22


it woke

he hadnt the imagination
                          he could feel it in the corner of his eye slightly impingingburring his vision he wasnt awake long

he touched it with the tip of his left ringfinger soft  moist  he wiped it from his eye wiped it onto the leg of his tartan plaid pajama rheum  he preferred that to junk in the corner of it eye 
                                                                       he intended to do laundry that day
the rheum
            it moved
he blinkedhe wasnt sure it did

it shivered 
          rolled over
beginning to crawl  disgusted he crushed it smeared it  no remorse 
he shuddered
              he stoodup went to wash his face
walking up the hallway to the bathroom he stoppedpulled on the fabric confirmed it smeared

it was

JESUSCHRIST a maggot in the corner of his eye 
                                                  he nearly retched
he continued to the bathroom 
turned the cold water tap
bending over the sink he looked in the mirror

    another
expressed
            from his left eyeCREEPEDFREAKED him out he gouged 


the weekend 
              he was to have beers with his kidbrother watch college football at a tavern

his brother arrivedused his keywent through the door to discover what the terrible distress was that he heard inside 
his brother toppled over on his hands and knees in the bathtub 
                                                                 bloodied
eyeless
