The blaring southern exposure sun
Strained to creep through
My double pain glass windows.
Creative juice is drying
Like my chapped lips.
Release my constipated toxins.
Listening to Spotify
music application
Focuses my distraction.
Windy trees slap against the window.
Without stepping outside
My eyes become sandy filled.
My corneas scream scratchy fumes.
I want to stretch muscles.
My unshaven face itches.
When was the last shower embrace?
Four days ago
Am I depressed because,
I don’t care how I look
or smell?
I require intimate contact
To percolate innovation.
I make a last dash to the bathroom
To relieve my bladder.
The irritating coffee caffeine
Continues to do uplifting damage.
It’s worth the constant urinary
Bathroom visit.
Wrapped in the mummified
Warmth of sweater layers
off white smudged scarf
Wool cap I venture
To brisk biting cold
Turn around and
Return to my coven
Until I meet
A bellowing schnauzer.
With a howling bark
shoots towards me.
Do I run or remain still?
Where is the master leash?
A strained dog
Jumps into me.
Petrification stops me
in my position
as the claws dig
into my meat.
‘Ow! Get your fuckn’ dog off me”
The monster owner yanks
His best friend off of me.
“I’m so sorry. Are you hurt?”
Blood is gushing the wound.
Collapse.
When I awaken,
Unfamiliar surroundings.
My leg is propped up on a pillow.
Her blonde hair
Shimmering from the light says,
“I’m an on-call nurse at Cedar’s.
“Is my leg o.k.?
“Do I have rabies?”
“You’re fine.
Washed and bandaged wound.
Didn’t hit the bone.
No stitches.
“Can I get you anything?”
“I need to pee.”
“Let me help you.
“I don’t want you to pass out again.”
“I fainted?”
“I think the combination of pain,
Being in shock
Seeing that blood
You lost consciousness.
As I stand,
I become light headed
As she gently holds my shoulders,
Strength increases.
Her pudgy puffy hands cushion me
I limp from my injured leg.
She leads me to the bathroom.
I quickly urinate
I want my mother earth to care for me
When did that happen?
