METAPHOR BATH BEFORE SUPPER

give me
give me
give me

that home comfort smell
&
baby thunder 
of 
a
hot running bath

that easy peak 
of civilisation

&
the reassuring 
background bubbling
of
a
simple stew 
happily simmering 
out 
there
on the kitchen stove


~


i wallow 
contented
in my own 
hot water dirt

i delight
at
the 
murder aroma
of
the
softening beef

& 
i think 
my hands
are clean
