Nighttime Shower
“Nighttime Shower” I read somewhere, Always shower at night To wash the mess of the day away from your mind, your body Tonight I don’t want to wash you away I close my eyes, imagine The light Overhead is golden hour streaming on our faces Again Only an hour ago Like warm water Your fingers slid hotly down my wrists Shampooing down I turn, My hands like Your hands drift to that spot on my neck If I stay here maybe I can see Once more The love in your eyes, Relive that Perfect Moment a second time which is A luxury, One doesn’t often see perfection twice In this twisted-up, ugly life. I turn off the shower I’ll see him tomorrow, I think How lucky for me I’ll glimpse perfection tomorrow, and Very likely, The next day after that too
