I realised very early on, that there is a bird inside my body like a wood pecker that keeps tapping my sinews nibbling my insides and there is a monkey right there too jumping around my heart as my heart beat always with this thumping collides And a worm within me, It picks at everything soft and cuddly within me and drinks late into night savouring the juices from my mind where it sleeps, and slides And the dog, the most ferocious kind black in colour with a tough and shiny hide stays around me, where it hangs around in the darkness as I can hear late into nights baring of its fangs its prowls and its asides around in the darkness as I can hear late into nights baring of its fangs its prowls and its asides I knew that they were there waiting, waiting for me to make a mistake and would all jump and attack me dragging me to the darkness with them, yes, the darkness that within me, always hides!
