filth

The room feels thick
Thick with something
Like filth
&
The walls are heavy

Permanently rotting

Into the center of my mattress
Let me be swallowed
Whole by the room

Always one mildew
drop away from the
walls rotting
And colliding in
around me

Form into some kind
Of creature
& crawl away

Leave me alone
In a pile of
Garbage
While I turn into
Something else
Unsightly
