#383-Togetherness

Days…

When we bathed outside.

Boiling water,

On an open fire.

Watching you undress.

Your body,

Beautiful,

Silk-like,

Milky white.

Years passed.

We toiled,

Side by side,

Wondering,

What tomorrow would bring.

Today,

I still watch you undress,

Step into that tub,

Lay back,

Hair pinned up,

Closing your eyes,

Exhaling.

The water ripples, and

I feel at home,

Knowing,

Every single wrinkle.
