Something chewed my foot last night,
Chomping down with all it's might.
I could feel it digging in
Yet it never broke the skin.
Shaking my foot all around
As my heart beat might'ly pounds.
Let me go! I try to say
But it would not go away.
What was latched onto my foot?
I was scared to take a look.
Not until the spider bite
Did I dare turn on the light.
The arachnid, all I saw,
Was there nothing there at all?
But I felt it biting down,
Making not a single sound.
In my mind I saw it there,
As it tried to drain me bare.
An astral leech maybe? Perhaps.
Who knows what should take the rap?
It's gone now but may return,
Some kind of evil astral worm.
