Shower

Rain drops music ceaselessly
A body swallows splashes down its bare back
Muscles awaken beneath the drumming baptism of dirt
Dewy blades dance between concrete cracks
Trees moan with a delicate sway
The body staggers a step to the wind shifting west
with a pull of the clouds the sun glares through
Its rays glistening off myriad beads of water
Fighting tremors of cold, vacillating
Breath, cenesthetic
Hallucinations, clamorous
Thoughts about life too turned over, rarely claimed
Tears seek refuge in the downpour of slippery billows...
Feet now callous, collecting grass
walk back to the same rooms they'll always know
