Bedrotting
Satan is in the fly on the window sill, who waist for my body to die as I lay in my bed
He flits around my room and watches me

Sometimes he gets impatient, and then he flies around me and lands on my knee
He tastes my skin to test if I’m dead enough to eat, which causes me to lift my aching hand and swat at him
In his impatience and eagerness for my death, he prompts me to prove I am alive
