Soap and Hot Water
Behold: the bitterness of the left-in-the-glass lemon.
Behold it.
Do not drink, beloved.
Why would I want such bitterness
along your tongue.
Tell me.
Today I sliced a jalapeno.
Hours later, rubbing my closed eye,
a gritty sting.
I had used soap and hot water.
Why does the body insist
on hanging on.
Why is contact
a door.
Profound observation...contact is a door in so many ways, isn't it? Happy Monday to you.
