Poem-A-Day 002: Alien

Alien

Thickening
like whipped cream
setting up for
something sweeter

But bitter tendrils
encroach into softness
twisting, taking hold
taking root

What should have lain
dormant
awakens
and stirs

This pearling pain
is worthless
to the bearer
of its burden

This seedling clutch
sending forth fibril feelers
blind, unbidden
unwanted
