Myiasis infestation

Moving within my skin

The larvae slowly growing

I feel them feed

Discoloured, agonizing

covering me in sores

helpless, to stop the feast

I’m their main course

Incubated from within

Eating me from inside out

Propagate, a new disease

Breeding a swarm

Bloodletting, home surgery

Dig them out with a razor

Don’t hit an artery

Don’t fall asleep

Crawling beneath

Cling to the membrane

The boyflies breed

Bloodlet them free

Cutting deep into tissues

Filled with parasitic puss

Tear apart the larvae

To Abort the Botfly

Incubator,

Petri dish

All of the larvae grow

Incubator,

Petri dish

All of the larvae grow
