Astral Leech


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.

Click Beetle

Click bug click bug! There you are!

From the tree you fell real far.

Why do you always come to me?

What do you want me to see?

"Watch me as I bang my head,

My clicks fill the bugs with dread,

then I lay still like I'm dead."

Ah! you teach me of defenses,

There is an eternal census,

Nothing living is quite senseless

And I am far from defenseless.
