The tender movement of goosebumps
To the winking awakening of my flesh
The bad itch of I will not surrender yet
Funny how itchy chooses a place
An urgent sensation I never invented
Oh the thrill of mad mad gratification
Madness out in a perfect sneeze yes
For the next irrational swelling.

This one took my tongue away. The lines lend themselves to multiple readings and divergent decoding, the theme universal and the crafting very suggestive and all very deliberate. Me likey!

Are you writing about the universal “itch” or something more intimate? Either way, you’ve got me scratching! 😉

Skat, I reflect on how we respond to both the universal and intimate itches. They are linked.
