In The Bathroom

by Pradeep Dhavakumar

Cream shower curtains,
cover shy, naked body,
from peeping mirrors.

Showers and faucets,
never speak or scream at once,
proper diplomats.

Green-apple shampoo,
Rosemary-lavender soap,
garden in the tub.

Lather on fingers,
unadorned plastic walls,
verses on my mind.

Ale of hot and cold,
truths and lies - tightly entwined,
morn's quota of life.

White cotton towels,
comforts the tearful body,
readies for sun's eyes.
