a shower.


wet.
wet.
wet.
that's what i'll be.
the knob
it slips
from my fingers,
all pruny.
it slips.
slips.
my skin
burns: raw
from the heat.
red.
red.
red
are my feet.
claws
drag
dig
drag
leaving tracks
across my
back
shoulders
and neck.
steam.
hits.
hits.
til it drips.
drips.
dew
on the walls.
dots
of cold
slide
and fall.
fall
to my feet.
tap
the drain
collecting
the week's worth
of dirt
from my skin.
dirt.
dirt.
puddles
growing.
drowning.
swallowing me
whole.
whole.
