Affliction Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Affliction

Rating: 4.0


Stale blood festered
Beyond the veil
Across the oceans
And into the sand
Where beetles live
Bloated, travelling
Past an old home
And into the new
The juice was already
Deep red, and soon
The vegetation
Welcomed it
Throbbing veins
They grew, mutated
Then the cattle
Feasted, ate until
Only bleeding roots
Could be seen, remained
You created
Your very own virus
And it became part
Of the meat you eat
