Cancer Twin

The body gets bored,
decides to experiment
by mixing cells
to see what will happen.

Lo and behold it births
growth magnificent
with rapid regeneration.
Eureka! rushes throughout
the system of blood, bones and tissue
to nourish this new addition,
this new creation until the host
discovers its existence
and plots its demise with assassins.

It floats out spies
to lie in safe houses
until the attack abates.
Snipers crawl forth
and shoot lookouts
so embryo stretches outward.

It matures, flings off
residual parries to its life.
It flourishes as body rejoices
at first, then fears
tinkering twin.
