I turn the faucet on, letting the water warm up and I shed my clothes.
I step in and embarrass the warm water droplets that hit my back and continue their race.
I feel my back getting warm, no doubt the forced coupled with the heat, red.
And I tilt my head back into the scolding water.
As steam rises and slowly chokes me.
And I may be burning,
And this may be unsafe,
But at least,
In this fleeting moment,
Outside of time and space,
Alone in my shower,
My skin slowly burning off,
I
Am
Warm.
