Description
Shushing sounds from the hissing water
  sputter down my slick skin
as the shower grows
  cooler and the shivers expand-

I barely have time to rinse.

  There's a hint of lavender scent in the
mists of steam,
  sudsy blossoms that bead on my dripping head.
There it goes, down the drain,
   something I won't remember soon.

You must see the
    Reflections of my thoughts on
the silver tap;
    your eyes sucking my breath like
the soapy water down the clogged pipes,
    rasping through drizzled drains.

   Rusty water grinding to a halt.
Slip of wet toes on dewy tiles.

   I am dripping down myself and slapping
cool ground,
  disintegrating in the turgid silence,
pregnant with hope
  or remorse

  wishing as I watch
the droplets melting into air:
   think of me, lovely;
think of me tonight.
