You’re Wasting the Hot Water

Sheila Cremin

Oh, but it feels too good.
It falls over me like warm, soft hands.
Grazing my hair, so soothing down my back,
Smoothing over my curves, dripping between my legs,
Falling so gently at my feet, then whirling ‘round the drain.

Steam rises, capturing us together in its thick haze.
Now I can’t leave. The air outside the curtain,
It just doesn’t understand. It crawls over my skin,
Raising bumps across my arms like painful pricks.

Oh, but now it fades to cold.
The warmth washed away, so quickly.
I come to consciousness, so abruptly.
Just as I woke earlier, to the sounding alarm.

I turn its knobs to end the stream.
It’s over. I’m soaked and stripped.
And yes, I’ve wasted the hot water,
But it felt oh so good, you see.
