slay the beast
that like a dissolving silhouette
roams at the corner of your eye
leaves when you walk to it
stays a friendly whisper
in your ear
on your weakest,
ugliest days.
find the piece of you that’s rotting
(we’ve all got one)
hunt it out,
rip it out
before it makes everything else
around it decay.
