Tonight..

it is soft of mandarin orange
upon skin. Scented sweet, with
hint of sandalwood, musky, full
upon body cleansed under spray
of water, hot, purifying,
luxurious of feel in shower.

With light bought, brought
ghastly was mom's reaction
this tiny reflecting , metal
sculpture for candle illuminate.
The perfect paint upon wall of shadow
and light through bead of shade.

Spray of powder to silk of smooth
now to soothe, cool the hot, yet not,
as surround with scent too many
aromatic escape..in words of poetry.
