Time BathA Poem by MarltonReflections on waterI’ve stopped showering. The water is like quicksilver, Flashing over my skin too quickly, Stealing my tears Before I’ve felt them. I need the water to linger, It’s warm body growing, Like the sight of you in the distance As you walked smiling towards me, Til its mass can spoon around me And hold me in even warmth, Like you never did. © 2010 Marlton |
