Fixer from Broken Words by Electric Hobo

Every night when I fall asleep
it crawls out of my body.
When the dreams begin I understand
that it has taken control of my being,
initiated dream sequences to keep my mind busy
while it maintains my core, check my brain,
changes all the burnt neurons and rewires synapses,
then it crawls out of my body,
this huge insect that lives inside me
but only comes out at night when I'm fast asleep.
He tightens the screws on my jaw,
changes my body fluids, sucks all my marrow out
and replaces it with new marrow.
It has antlers that measure the electric charge in my brain
it measures my heart rate and adjusts it to fit my breathing,
then after all is done it crawls back in
seals the wound
and reboots my brain
for the new day.
