Bath Gestalts

It all comes together 
Between the water 
And the sweat 
A brine for the soul 
Portraying the darkroom 
Red against the typeset grey 
Formulating a method to stay 
Where I am, letting more heat 
In to the melange, a spice for the 
Fire, a price on my forehead, dripping 
Drops, dropping in, down to the 
Elbows, mended spin, futile 
Rhythms shake a furtive 
Spine, vertebrae by 
Tones, find me 
Altogether 
In a bath
