Curled up tight

back in knots
stomach the same
assume this is natural

after some years
investigation of pain
ask the doctor's advice

doctor is silent
and seems thoughtful
quiet murmurs and sputters

"it looks like
a living organism
in your abdominal area

it's growing more
and more everyday
feeding like an infant

on your nutrients
and yet, terrifyingly,
the thing isn't human"

the news settles
now I'm silent
"what do I do?"

"I don't know"
his only response
"I can't help you"
