the ache

starts in my back
throbs
ebbs then stabs
strangely warm
cannibal
it calls on others
lymph linked
shouldering the burden
in my pits
in my neck
dull eating
my groin
my cock
ache, tender
sickly, sore
it spirals round my hips
my lips
it sits waiting
weighting my joints
lead bones lead me on
tease my knees to the ground
to grind myself to dust
to get at that itch
the spot it all stems from
seeps, creeps, crippling
i wince
and continue on
