a poem {poetry thursday}

Past

one foot propped on the faucet
the other flips the drain

water
swirls
gurgles
drops

millimeter by millimeter

please take the shit with you

bracing her hands on either side
she rises
reaches for the towel
and rubs the

folds
curves
creases
lines
dry

seeking eradication
