Showering

Personal Reflection 1 Minute 
One breast is gone
the sickle moon penumbra
undressed

for the ruler scar beneath -
a doctor’s tidiness.
Misplaced highway

on this smooth
bend of flesh and bone.
In the shower

throw caution
plughole deep -
damp self pity

swirls down cheeks
heat like 
swallowed liquor.

Firefly stings on 
neck nape,
the waves pass

hopping out
calm again
and pink all over

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
