Hiding in the shower


Under the showerhead
tiny water beats my bare bare back
It sprays my face with 
a soft glistening mist
I want the water to swallow me
wash me down the drain
or at least clease me of my pain
Theraputic hollow rain heats my skin
the water is scalding
I will burn the sin right off my body
Reddened skin
my body is as tender as my heart
I wrap myself in a towel
hide in the cloth
hide in the hurt
I escape to my pajamas
and run to my bed
Hiding again
the hurt lurks in the dark
But it is light in my room
As I sleep I will hide
From the pain
and live to hide from another day of pain
