Carelessly they crawl on
clothes and naked skin
barbed feet easily
climbing into ears or
open mouths
get tangled in hair
nest there
laying eggs that hatch
and squirm
giving headaches and
nightmares
bite like nasty creepy legged things
clinging when seen
anticipating their host’s desperation
to shake them free
pressing their little bodies
against the terrified
who realize they’re still there
doing something
horrifying
and even when the brave
pluck off the things with straining legs
breaking, crushing
leaving stains
the residue that remains
you have to wipe on something
