OCD Lament

I think this is *potentially triggering* for sufferers and it also includes spider imagery. It was my attempt to evoke the sensory experience of having OCD and the frustration that comes with it. Thanks.

OCD Lament

Shower curtain hung like a ghost with eczema
Spider egg sacs squished under blotting paper
Riddled with spores of mildewed rancor
Wearing a cape of the skin off old milk
Soggy cardboard gums biting down
on a polyester pore
I scritch my skin to shribbens
To peel a layer of shag tobacco underneath
Plastic wrappers balance precarious
on a mound of soggy tissues beneath
Sink is speckled orange
like a rotten mini egg
smeg dreg stink
Crust under all, puffy and blue
Tacky glue smell rubbed
between thumb and forefinger - low

One day I will just eat all the rubbish
and tear it to pieces.
