grooming (Remove filter)

Lump in my throat

This is about the guy who groomed me so language feedback would be 'really appreciated:)

 

 

In the sauna

I was an open wound.

My skin was anger:

sore and raw and 

so self-conscious-

always naked.

I'd be feverish,

dehydrated,

and shaking.

The constant craving for salt,

was provoked by me,

so it was 'all my fault'

he was so thirsty.

He'd tear me apart...

GROOMING

Stripping my terrier

could not be a hairier

task

Want to ask

Doesn't it seem odd

to breed a dog

That needs to be plucked

like a chicken?...
