Tub Stopper


That send button on the electronic mail is
Like pulling the drain stop on a man’s hope
The tub of pent intent begins the clocked swirl
For her response to replace the guard

Before the water is depleted into the approaching madness
Like eyes closed the undefined possibilities are infinite
Open all he can picture is the dryness of the morrows
Crusting a naked body standing in a basin

Staring down a hole pleading that there was still one drop
Left balanced on the ledge knowing what suns and moons are
Neither meant to hold water
Exploding fusion and a dusty satellite hovering out there

Every night praying for clouds to just get away for a few hours
Return to that pure darkness where anything can happen
Like the waters were coddling his ankles drenched in that supple

Meandered puzzle of belief
