Nightcrawler

Sidewalk

worm’s gratitude

for sun

following a rainstorm

must be short-lived

blistering

confusing

like the shudder

after flutter

inside

upon car door slam

outside

I felt I was drowning

flailing

bloated

floated

to the surface

warmed myself

belly to the sun

now you’re home

finding yourself

amongst worms

surfacing

inside your brain

and I’m parched
