Neoplasmic Katsaridaphobian
An invasion
Lurks
Of gross numbers
By horrible brown scouts
Into infrastructure
Behind bone
Behind flesh
They nest and rest
Big black alien eyes
Unseeing antennae
Reaching out to probe the space
Spreading filth with a hideous face
Multiplying in the body
Where the frame homes a hive
Nesting in wait
Pestilent surprise
To skitter around
Insects of infection
Sapping the home
Of breath to take
Rusts wing of flaps in wake
Seeking a source
A cold, damp corner
For hive to make
Chewing with mouthparts
Consuming the trash
Multiplying uncontrollably
Spreading their malignance
Sprinting spindly legs
Rushing from cover to cover
Reaching the amygdala
Crawling underneath skin
Ootheca eggs hatching
Hatchlings swarming out
Spreading through the veins
Contaminating healthy vanes
Expenses paid
For radiation
Can’t stem the swell
Of dirty insects
No cure
No symptoms
Until it’s too late
To abate
No poison to eradicate
Or traps to intoxicate
Just twisted pitch alien eyes
And the ravaged home they brutalize
