It creeps
And it crawls
At the base of your skull
It gnaws
Its claws
They grab
And they reach
At the palms of your hands
They leech
A breach
And a nip
At the heels of your feet
It grips
It rips
And it curls
At the curve of your spine
It swirls
It twirls
And it catches
At the back of your mind
It hatches
It snatches
and it waits
At the tips of your fingers
It baits
It grates
And it tricks
At the corner of your eye
It flicks
It kicks
And it beats
At the core of your gut
It eats

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
