Shower

After the curtain is pulled back,

the water falls and I am hesitant to enter

I began this but did not commit:

Clean me.

Clean my body.

Clean everything.

What have I done so far?

Slept with someone else?

Transformed my body with drugs?

For evil thoughts?

Am I in the hands of God now?

Let these mindless acts clean the outside of my body.

Let the warm waters make my exterior

worn down

smooth, clean

unblemished

my insides will follow.
