Five Fleas Itchy Poetry 

Afternoon of January 30, 2026

Untouched

 

Untouched 

🍂Storms have an off way

Of teathering us all 

To reality

Grief changes the hearts beating

Murmuring of birds

Emerging out of the satin quiet

A map lies hidden 

Winding back to your hearts home

Collecting seashells 

Two true spirit unbridled 

Desire untouched

Twisting to the sun

Echoing of memory 

Time changes with the leaves 

It’s hard to remember pain 

Even harder to remember sweetness

Waiting for scarlet berries
