Seven Year Itch

*

your seven year itch;

flare of eczema infected

raw sore and weeping

 *

your shattered hour glass;

irritating grains of sand

debriding old skin

 *

your fingernail scratch;

sacrificial blood letting

scarification

*

your allergic rash;

self-fulfilling prophecy

psycho somatic

*

my fragility;

remedied with wisdom’s balm

time passing quietly

*
