Song

skin twists

beneath the wide arch of water

and the hard plastic sweats a cool clear liquid

and thin streams tendril along the floor


hair turns

amidst the fine spray of droplets

and the square white soap expands in her fingers

and air flows beside water


lips move

around long sweet syllables

and hot breath becomes steam and sound

and notes fly from the cellophane walls


because today, her arms wrapped

snugly around the wide warm swell that is her stomach,

she is happy.
