Hot Water Suds.

 

I love the way the running water

and soap suds get caught

between your back

and the started out clear glass,

squished,

constricted,

clear pop of lather

as bubbles and fizz make shapes

as they cuddle the steam

first thing in the morning

as you scream inwardly,

at the early morning cold

the season provides.
