Candiru -

Deep in the basin of the Amazon

Fluorishing in turbid waters alone

Habitat of the Canero

Vampire parasite

Atrocious, evil, little carnivore

Vicious attacks, pure horror

Lurking in the dark river resort

Disgusting appetite

The flow provides translucence

Hematophagist

Preying on fertile hosts

Bloodsucking fish

Infesting animals and anthropoids too

Thriving on nourishing liquid food

Malevolant, revolting brood

Organism obscene

Visual tracking or hunting with scent

Sinking its barbs into the glands

The pain sets in as its body expands

Absorbing protein

Only seconds of nesting

In tubular space

Leaving «once saturated»

This temporary haze

Don’t use the banks as a jungle latrine

The Candiru emerges unforeseen

Swiftly darting up your urine stream

From where it was concealed

Gnawing tissue of the ventral wall

A cozy seat in your genitals

Agonizing excretory canals

Repulsion unreal

Fecal organs ravaged

Mutilation

Surgery required

Amputation
