Bathtub

Slow jazz floats

So does my body

Temporary Defiance

Against gravity

Skin wet

Soul soaked

They come in waves

Memories

Some faded

Some constructed

Nothing is absolute

Nothing is true

The crushed

Gasping bodies

Of the past lovers

And fantasies

Of the future ones

Entangled escapes

Temporary defiance

Of time & space

If you touch

It evaporates

Get closer

It enlarges

Move away

It pulls

Honey thick liquids

Holds in place

Taste it

It satiates
