Divermis Divergence

One night the man in his cups

Supped

Supped

And further;

Within his skull something sharp and biting

Moved with utmost fervor.

Shaking the feeling stood he did and checked upon his dogs

Asleep and happy no sound of thrashing;

 Furry and vicious logs.

So back he sat before the keys to polish his third act

The book to save his loves

The book he based on fact.

Intracranial came a slither

Splitting temples wide

Cause to wonder as never before

What noisome thing lay inside

It moves there is no doubt

His heart gone all a’ flutter

Not from love but something worse

He reaches for his lover.

Comfort unfound

And why the sound

Bangs loud that battering ram

He realized that over time

Himself he did Goddamn.

No escaping dreams.

They pierce like Conure’s screams.

The line is thin as spider’s silk

Separating his skull seams.

His yen that the worm falls dead

But it will not relent

So in his cups

He sups in mire

One will win

And one will expire.
