Slugs: A Poetic Trilogy

A thumb with a brown slug wrapped around it.
A dirt-covered slug slithers across my thumb. | Bean Gast

mouth agape, the tension leaves

blurred blob of vibrancy

until

I look at whatโ€™s looking

and see me


focused and clear

a magenta slug appears


eyes are a portal

seeking a soul to search

only to find a mirror


the ultimate test

a staring contest


revealing that we are 

one


the spirit of the slug calls to me

entering through my open mouth


it consumes me
