Dream of Worms

To dream of worms is to be
Ensnared by low intrigue,
By disreputable people,
To be brought down into filth.

To dream of worms on your skin
Means your ambitions are sordid.
To dream of throwing off worms
Means you desire to be pure.

If you dream your lover is covered
By worms, it means fear will find you
Wherever you hide. No getting away.
Worms when you die.

  Angelo Verga
