Bath water baptism
I am in the mood to submerge myself in bath water.
to slip my sorry sodden head under
and feel the current pull me further.
Down The Plug Hole.
I am in the mood to watch my breath rise;
to watch bubbles of discarded air tangle in my hair
and count the seconds it takes...
for the foam to disappear.
I am in the mood to warm my bones,
to feel as my blood slowly turn to tears
and allow my heart to slosh
to leak rather than to bleed.
I am in the mood to remain hidden by the bubble current to let my eyes itch, my body twitch
and to leave this world clean
no sign of me but a stream.
