An Enveloping Death

it looked like bugs—
nightmarish, black, writhing bugs—
crawling out of her eyes, mouth, and nose.
but it wasn’t bugs at all—
it was a black, fog-like balloon
enveloping the small creature.

he peered out at the one responsible for
this horrid image,
a balding man wearing a dirty smock,
and swore to get even
as the balloon-like shadow
enveloped its prey.
