Modern ideas
I'm itchy, like I need to run outside
More unrest than an itch
I need enveloping in balm
Although that seems a bit final
Balm lite - a hug that has ions
Although I feel so contained
Balm might suffocate
Ahh a poltice - one of those
Draw out the unrest...
Ooh maybe an exorcism
No, not an exorcism
Maybe I'll have a gherkin and mustard
I feel that combo has ancient healing power
(I'll just delete a couple of sentences here that were hilarious)
I'll dance, eat things with mustard on and let the wind blow my hair for a few minutes
I do think this may be how women got themselves burnt as witches in the past...
I wonder if they stuck flammable balm on them first and they were like 'yeah that helps, thanks' just for it all to pan out badly
Writing this was nicely distracting
I need to tick the 'modern poetry' box
Just so people know where I'm going with it
Luckily not a paper submission as the mustard fingerprints might suggest there are concerns
It's funny that whole concept
Tell the wrong person something and your world could go up in flames
Keep it to your crowd and you can laugh the night away with gherkin jokes wondering if you're crying because it's so funny or you've got mustard in your eye again
I'll leave that here
I'm fine by the way
Honest
