Enraptured
A microbiologist by design
Studier of the smallest organisms
The bacteria, the amoeba, the viruses
I admired your delicacy
Your intricacy
Your ability to change and
Evade defenses
To become something different
Something more
With each reproductive cycle
Until all the weapons
In our medical arsenal
Were unable to stop you
Wherever you'd go
You'd think that now,
Infected as I am
That I would rage and scream
And despise your very existence
But it is quite the contrary
Even as you kill me
You are still
So beautiful to me
Our relationship
But a microcosm
Of the forces of nature
Constantly at work
