I can feel them inside me, they live and breathe. they digest, they exist.

  While they persist in their millennial ascendance over my flesh.

  I have enemies who wish to defeat me.

  They wish to disturb my peace, they wish to bring me to my knees.

  I must persist over time. I must persist over the endless buzzing in my ears.

  The noise that seeks to destroy me completely.

  I hum against it, I make noise, I make my throat sing to the great frequencies that leave my lungs.

  These frequencies that dug into me are no more than puny worms when met with my own voice.

  But I can only hum when my ears are buzzing loudly, I can not hum while I sleep.
