Mineral Baths - Saratoga Springs Ny

Mineral Baths Saratoga Springs NY She covers her private parts at the bath house. Mineral water fills a tub, centuries old. She feels cold until an old Women hands her heated sheets... now, her skin covered. Brought her clips to lift her auburn hair. The sheets cooled as the tub, now filled. A stray cat peers into the window... purrs, kissing glass. The old Women removes the sheet, takes the hand of a young lady as she carefully steps into aged porcelain. Tiny bubbles surround her skin. A soft pillow for her head... Now, relax. . . she tells herself, dreaming of the cat kissing glass. . . alone, at last. Nancy Duci Denofio
