| Fell Asleep in the Bathtub Beyond warm, not quite simmering, shimmering anointing oil in the mecca of soothing comfort imperceptively rocked me down into its depths. Like being unborn again, this, still within a mother's giving fortress. Relaxed, untensed, unbent, the blanket of velvet liquid and clouds of steam infuse bath salts and candle scent-- gingerpeach, seaside, spruce-berry. Consciousness slipped, gave way, body and mind floating off on unresisting all-forgiving enfolding encapsulating oblivion. Indulging in both sleeping and such luxuriant bathing throws incandescence between two worlds of one being. PamEhli/2002 |
