"It feeds exclusively off dead bodies of human beings"

Laid down amongst several thousand tabanid brethren

Wriggling free from a post-natal prison

Incubated in the spume of composting meat

Blindly in search of a necro-pyomorphic feast

Burrowing through layers of necrotic tissue

Pulpous flesh and muscle sinew

Re-ingesting the digested chyme

Frolicking in a playground of post-mortem slime

Writhing larvae are gorged on the lukewarm grey matter

Overwrought with parasites, a rancid head of splatter

Cranial atrophy is abetted by gnathostomiasis

As gamesome grubstake to tumbling down sulcus

Dipterous infants

White and limbless

Nursed on carcass

A pale existence

Relentless quarrying results in anastomosis

Actuating the event of enteroptosis

Through the extirpation of sustenacula

The thoughtless act of a juvenile brachycera

The corpse, subjected tocutaneous larva migrans

Provides temporary dwelling for the pupating clan

Then, following the harvest of the rancid lysate

The toddlers lie dormant inorder to transmutate

Subsisting solely as a parasitic anathema

These maggots, the babes of the Musca domestica
