Half Bath

It grows when it feels me

By Zaria AndersonPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

In my big white bathroom, there's only space for me.

I'll take my ice baths.

I depend on warm towels and heated floors.

The wirings bad and all my towels are tattered.

So I just lay in the big white bathroom.

Water slithering on the ground.

Marble cracking under my weight.

Soon my big white bathroom will show rusty pipes and disappointing looks.

I crawl into the tub so I can wither away.

The ice boils at my touch.

Theres nothing nobody but me.

Thats what I like.

That's what they give.

Thats what I've had.

That's what I think I need.
