-ken stewart
that gnawing worm
who knows the worm gnawing within
intimate like a sexual being with a face
someone we sup with or greet;
a worm like Adam and Eve's
strolling with us in the night-light
in the garbage that tickles our nose
and draws up the vomit;
the worm that's that close
that we befriend it
and train it to live in ourselves
and appear "right" with others;
the worm that circles our garden
the one that haunted Cain?
