Confessions of a Dead Bug in My Bathroom

By Sarah Flynn

Hello there,
You keep watching me like I will awake
That I scuttle when you’re not looking.
I trapped myself here
No dirt for me to be buried in
Only granite countertops and lavender soap

Who are you? Why do you keep staring at me?
I am stuck in this place
You, omnipotent giant,
Are the only one to free me
Please,
Free me at your earliest convenience
