Rasping
Before growth comes rasping,
an itch, a rub,
a sloughing of skin.
Irritation!
A snake against the bark,
peeling and prickly.
From tiny happenstance.
From global madness,
From those we love the best.
Presses urgent need for new skin.
I bow to today’s rasping
which insists that I evolve.

May I share? Giving proper credit, of course.
