About

I scrurried around your feet the day you feel terribly ill. You figured that my scratching at your swollen feet was just a plea for food.
Little did you know that my licking of your wounds had spread my noxious disease.

I watched you from the holes in your walls as you writhed in pain, night after night. I watched you as the village doctors told you there wasn't a cure yet. I watched you as you begged your father to let you leave for the city, to find a cure.

I watched you die as your mother laid the bedsheets over your sunken face. I watched as your lifeless hand fell from your bed and hit the floor. I watched your sister kiss your oozing cheek during your wake.

I watched them bury you in the backyard.
I killed you.
I watched you.
I watched your kid sister pass it to her friends.
I watched her pass it on, not knowing she is immune.
I watched her survive what killed you.
I watch her.
