trypophobia

by Aspen (Haiden) DeShong

necrotizing fasciitis;

result of infection

that festers and nips at tainted flesh,

turns the skin

dour and

black,

rots from the inside until

flesh is a mass of holes

gaping

gory wounds

 

myiasis--

what happens when flies

lay larvae inside the

soft womb-nest of

human body.

when the larvae hatch

they eat their way out

layers of skin,

ghastly pockets,

holes over holes

everywhere they burrow

 

fucking

involves holes too

when someone chooses to use

an empty hole as

a worthless receptacle.

pleasure, pain--

doesn’t matter which

if you’re depraved enough

 

you can carve your own hole out and

make the body open around you like

a pretty glove of guts and hollows

 

rot. disease. sex.

what’s the difference?

 

all destroy. all hurt. all can ruin

the bodies and lives

of the infested;

 

no, the only difference is

necrotizing fasciitis,

myiasis--

those can kill you.

and being abused for sex

just makes you wish someone would.
