Sunday Poetry with Gypsy Woman, Jenean C. Gilstrap. Today: under the skin

under the skin

it came

without warning

an insidious disease

perniciously

worming

its way into

under the skin

burying itself there

only to then

instantaneously

erupt

disrupt

corrupt

all that was

of us

leaving in its

burrowed path

only the

void

without

you

this

sudden

emptiness
