there was one of a woman bathing back
view half turned away a charcoal Y of
bottom cleavage rippling the surface tension
as she wide-eyed stares at a frog lily pad
perching who stares wide-eyed straight back
while i a rising five bones on fire skin like
water sink into the page and that’s how i
caught the reading habit.
