looking up
at the down
spout shower head
reaching
as if trying
to take a selfie
but really
just adjusting

and so
a stream erodes
two peaks as it leaks
down from thighs
to knees beneath
to ankles then to feet
to toes flowing ten fold
down a counterclockwise

I look for you in the New Poems list :) I don't always comment right away, wait for the swirling to settle.

Waking to find a second compliment from you on two poems written the same day. I am humbled Maureen. Thank you so much.
