Obsessed

I go through phases: everything is filthy,
doorknobs, sink handles, the carpet, curtains.
This is the manifestation of dying; it's a dirty job
but someone has to do it. Then there are days
when germs become the animal, somehow
belong there as a skin cell or a strip of bark.
The enemy or the protector; I never realized
I was the deformity.
