Infestation

Infestation

 

 

 

tiny little fleas

my memories of you

the collar of naivety

tightened

but then wisdom sprayed

itself upon my infested heart

 

and finally,

i was flea free

and ready for tea

 

with another

knowing i had shed the collar

 

and could love

without having to constantly

scratch the past.

I agree with Pete, very itchy write. This is creative, much enjoyed this

itchy write. very creative. i quite enjoyed this sans the scratching. great metaphor. the title alone made me squirm in my seat, let alone the words and imagery. strongly disturbing and uncomfortable. thankfully we have RAID spray and exterminators for the outward. now if we could just get those for the inward ... :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, for the inward, i agree...thank you, Pete, appreciate your visit and words,
j.

The light rhyme of this is truly lovely, and I like the metaphor of it.
