Fruiting Bodies - Nadja

I live under your skin breed & breathe send out tendrils

Thread an invasive network through your limbs infest

Your insides with spores that might bubble out and through your skin

I live on your skin you breathe me in absorbed into

Your bloodstream swim through capillaries attempt

To breach the blood-brain barrier and consume your thoughts

You sense me as bitterness you only know me because

Of the taste the acrid twist of my bitterness that sours the thoughts

From your head scours the thoughts in your head
