Temporary Soothing breasts pressed to cool porcelain while the steam creates curls that cling to the small of my back no one hears me release the pain in here ... no one can see the past wash down the drain like I do and it's all right ... right now, to be alone at this moment, this time ... while I look at my arms and see, with my minds eye where his fingers carved a path ... and the water slowly falling over the curves ... now warm |

Oh, the meaning of this could definitely go two ways. That adds to its intrigue. I feel anguish for the teller. One way it leads is out of an act of violence and the other way is totally out of sorrow of something ending. Both are filled with pain. Yet, the 'something ending' would really be the lesser of two evils. |

Very well written evocative write...I emjoyed it so much! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
