Itching, burning, blinding lights
At the close, flashing whites
Sticky lens, blurry mist
Dancing dots twist.
Big pools of black, perfect round
Tiny halo of brown.
Restricted levers, robotic stiff
Brittle, snap, click
Bulging knees, curling toes
Joints scrape with rusty bone.
Hands, fingers struggle to grip
Popping pills, feeling sick
Sharp scratch, needles prick.
Degenerate, changing shape
Fight to stay awake
Take the strain, unvalidated pain.
Dark days in summer
Tunnel vision, fever
Stomach churning, catching breath
Looming death.
Exploding chest, consuming fear
Up's and down's, bursting tears.
Ripple's spread around,
Mutations, copies passed down.
