hygiene

I find myself

wondering

if the last time

I saw you

will be

the last time

 

I see you

 

naked in the shower,

you hand me soap.

I tell you 

to look away

so I can wash

 

expectations

 

off my skin

and watch them

circle the drain.

 

I fear

they will clog

the pipes

 

(I hope you know a good plumber)
