my skin
is so itchy this winter.
i'm scratching at it all day.
rubbing up
against
the corner of a wall,
or sticking a wooden spoon
down my shirt
to get to that one unreachable
spot.
i pick up a stray cat on the street
and place it on my
back.
when Lulabelle was
around, she took care of it
with her long
dagger nails.
but she be gone.
i google itchy skin
and tumble down that rabbit hole.
it's either
impending doom,
or nothing
but cold air.
