The Shower

Maturing from Morning Ritual

The shower has always been my waterfall

A place of isolation

A place of meditation

My form of solace

Water fell when I reached catharsis

And heat rose when I didn’t know what to say

My feet were frozen as I thought about life

And my head pounded the linoleum thinking about your death.

I was in my waterfall when I thought I fell in love

When I realized my love was lost

When I realized I never loved at all

When I realized I would never love again.
