Shower Thoughts

I love the sound of water

Splashing off my shower cap

As I stand in the stream and the steam

Frozen in the heat under the faucet

Too tired to wash my greasy hair

Pruney fingers drum along the wall

I keep my eyes closed, imagine I'm under a waterfall

I scrub off the day's filth from my skin, go into my mind

Forgetting the flesh oubliette

Soaped & soaked

I say my prayers, count my blessings, dwell on my misfortunes & mistakes

A thousand thoughts trickle out

Why do I feel this way?

Is there any way to change it?

A hot spring in the tundra, an oasis in the desert

One moment I'm too saturated, next I'm desiccated, dehydrated

From zenith to nadir

Am I losing it all?

Am I losing at all?
