It's another one of those
heavy nights
where I don't want
to move
or sleep
or get out of the shower,
and my dearest companions
are the words forming
so quick in my mind
that I can't keep up.
And every night
the showers get hotter
and longer
and one day my
flesh will melt off
and you'll find me
a collapsed skeleton
waiting for you
to pull me out of the drain.
