I pull out the freshly dried towels
And press their warmth upon me
Silencing the computer’s howls
Calming instinctual fight or fee
The terry cloth coated comfort
Smells like a sin’s forgiveness
A baptism of dilapidated hurt
Simulating mother’s nearness
The plush white woven quiet
Pauses the Earth’s pirouette
Silencing the mind’s endless riot
Paying off anxiety’s rising debt
The heat palpitates my flesh
An earthquake of exuviation
Sending ripples of bodily refresh
From a basic absorbent creation
I savor the perfect simplicity
Of my soul’s fleeting defrosting
Feeling the cooling electricity
Of coziness energy exhausting
The goosebumps start to relax
As the towel’s fever breaks
The peace reveals its cracks
And reality once again awakes
