| "Natural Itch" by Craig Cameron |
Something crawls
underneath my skin
It burrows deep in
the pores
And sweat furrows
from my brows
As I scratch and
scratch the spot
But it doesn't
want to go away.
I grow furious,
like a rabid wolverine
And begin to peel
flesh from bone
Not caring about
the pain at all
Except for the
pulsating itch below.
I recognize that
it could be nothing at all
But the itch isn't
easily put away
When it crawls
underneath my skin
Each and every
single day.
Question for the Reader: What kinds of things make you itch to no end?
Nothing worse than an itch that doesn't go away no matter what you do. I experience this a lot in the winter with the dryness in the house producing very dry skin! And then...the itch that itches no end!
ReplyDeleteI get dry skin during the winter season as well, except mine starts in late autumn. I have to use a special soap in order to make it go away.
