Uncanny.
Unholy
.
Trigger
for
trypophobia.
I
hate
to
think
of
them
,
a
warren
behind
my
eyes
,
so
many
sinkholes, wells clogged
with
sludge
and
debris
.
Now
they
are
inflamed,
driving
spiles
into
my
skull
, letting
all
that
sap
drip
down
the
back
of
my
throat
tasting
like
a
tooth
gone
bad
.
I
should
irrigate
them
later
.
Flood
them
with
saline
and
plunge
the
blockages
until
everything
runs
clear
.
But
I
worry
about
the
rabbits
,
their
burrows
lined
with
fur
and
grass
.
If
I
flush
them
into
the
open
they
’ll
be
hunted.
I
can
feel
the
hounds
straining
at
their
leads.
Would
I
sacrifice
the
innocents
for
a
chance
to
breathe
?
I
wouldn’t.
So
I
open
my
mouth
and
heave
air
down
my
throat
and
let
my
lungs
sort
out
the
mess
.
