Where will I bury the creature that is growing inside
Devouring my gut and heart at the same time
Better still, i'll burn it to its bone
But what about the ashes born?
Sweep, swab, scrub,  blow them down ?
And it's stench?
For this, I shall marinate the house with floral scents.
And then completely wipe out its traces.

If you keep tearing me into two, atleast  immunize me from it
For, it will be reborn, sometimes, to a monstrous size,
Tormenting me even more.
Please teach me how to cremate it once and for all with my body.
For if it has to die, it has to pass with me.
It has started beating in me, running deep in my veins
Cut one and you will see its head pop out.
It's swallowing my insides atom by atom.

Otherwise, if you wish to, hydrate me well
Feed me through your warm palm
Cradle me in your loving arms
Hold me tight
Hold me fast
Kiss my navel and my nape
Exorcise my body off that creature
With your love charms
Caress my arms
Entangle your fingers with mine
Sprinkle your magic on my body
And see it come alive.
