it is 2 in the AM
and my skin tingles with the dry air
and i'm awake and the kids are asleep
and I want to scratch my skin off
i've tried to sleep and it is too hot
and the bed was messy
so I fixed the blankets,
and i still feel the tingles,
the nerve endings begging to be assaulted
the hot dry skin on my neck,
the way my hair touches my shoulder
the way the tingle under my arm makes me want to scratch
