Poison Ivy
Urushiol has afflicted me. Two days until agony.
First a dot then a mass. I want to itch this volcanic rash.
I rue the day it covered me, now there are weeks of misery.
Fingers blister forearms grow rough, body so itchy but I shouldn't touch.
The Horrors I foretold, will cover my body whole, poison on all my clothes, spread to all my toys, covering my person more!
Ahhhhh! My itchy rash; pussing sores; How long can this last?
Ahhhhh! It can’t end too soon; freedom from this doom; my cells exhume.
My skin crawls!
Now I can only sit and wait. Calamine to mask my fate.
Has it been so long? My life is all wrong.
Hot water feels so good, but everything burns.
If I could take my skin off I fucking would!
