i write stories
i write your pleasure
i write your pain
i write my words inside your brain
like drugs
like knives
like the larval infestation that eats it alive
i twist, i worm
i scream, i squirm
enticing, inciting
reviling, delighting
i’m the coil, the spring
the sweetness, the sting
i’m the voice in your head
i’m the bugs in your bed
i’m the heart still beating long after you’re dead
Oh, Dan. And here I was thinking that you *were* a big shot. I’ll remember to pay your expenses next time I invite you to speak at my conference. 🙂
Interesting academic papers. I hope there’s something about Post-Hungarian music. The articles are really interesting to read. Kudos.

Dan, Wonderful flow here – the beat is great!
Vividly painful imagery – Excellent!
I think the bugs in the bed got to me the most – eww! Too many stories on the news lately about bed bugs in hotels.
Please write more!
Ooh no – bed bugs in hotel room sis something that makes me squirm!!
Dan
It was music!
Now, what IS that wrapped up your right arm? Red netting?
