Bath water


Soft wavy hair heated pin straight

Creamy paint smoothed on marked skin

Sharp black lines and white powder

Societal mirror reflected gold

Take sponge and soap and warm water

Scrubbing soul and body

Grins and warmth and cleanliness

Curly hair framing eyes

Happiness in bare skin

Uncovered feet touching dewy grass

Wind whipping through open fingers

Fundamental pure and simple

The fullest heart
