there are moments
there are moments
while standing
in the shower –
just before
waking
a second
or a third time –
when you recall
those afternoons
when we could
build a pool
around our bodies sitting
in the bathtub,
elbows deep
in toys, splashing
out summer’s
swelter, laughing
away the fleeting
caress of wrinkles
.

Never had those types of images in the shower…of course I had a real fear of water…but I do reflect on warm summer rains, playing outside with friend in my youth…wonderful poem.;-)
(smile) thank you.
Such tenderness, and capped with that
incredible photograph; a red letter day
in Yi-Ching’s world! Yes, many things swirl
to the surface as the shower starts
your heart and clears the cobwebs
of nightly slumber. Never had
communal baths as a child, but sure
do have fun bathing my two grandsons,
ages 3 and 4.
thank you.
