In the Bath.

Slowly Sinking.
Water Searing,
Down and down
and sitting burning,
In a too hot bath.

The agony,
The ecstasy.
The blissful torture
of the heat.

And Reading
Poetry. The poets …
and…Singing.
Echo singing
in the bath.

And Lying…

Lying dreaming
Organs floating …
Perfumed thinking
in the bath.
