bleach hurts

hard frost
orange vapour trails in the sky
low sun

a quick shopping trip
becomes nightmare fuel
when I buy mould cleaner
for the unventilated bathroom.
Some little shit
has loosened the top
it comes off when I pick it up,
the bottle crashing down
sending the contents flying
onto my face
into my eye
cue instant agony
though I finish the shopping
and drive home
while my eyeball blisters.
