Worries, Warts and a Teaspoon

Worries warts and a teaspoon a mosquito lives inside my liver He escaped from the falling dune to make me his caregiver he brings his worries he brings his warts He crawls through my nose But alas his passport my liver makes room As he feasts on pink flower flesh To make new A new cocoon I feel him writhe I feel him slither battle of my gushy mushy internal river sting my finger for the egg As sweet and bister as nutmeg And place my nipper in my ear Where she too Will inch on through On a teaspoon of worries and warts a bitter taste of sorts I listen to the whispers Oh how nice oh how kind What a friend What a find A mosquito lives inside Worries warts and a teaspoon Forever, forever God emperor of the dune
