Swarm

gnats keep swarming me at work
Maybe it’s the sweet smell of my soap
When the fly repeatedly lands on me, I wonder
“Do they sense something rotten within me that even I cannot detect?”
Something new and foul
Festering within my narrow 
Am I rotting from the inside out? is my soul turning to goop as we speak
Surrounded by gnats and flies 
Chasing me far away. 

I think they know.
