Axons

These words,
Ganglions
Axons
Tentacles
Reaching out to you
Like manga monster
Touching you unbidden
Unwilling
Grasping at your wrists
Feet, neck.
Poking in your ears, nose
Slimeing your hair
Eight tongues probing
Searching
Looking to tear something out of you
Desperate to steal your breath
To Feel that thing throbbing
Deep in your chest
Beating hard now
The taste of it is in your sweat.
The widening of you eyes
May later be explained as terror
But that's not really it, now, no
