11 miles in

i sat there
on the shower floor
knees up
pulled close
steam rising
the water like the raindrops in my head
pale and freckled
i am
hands like golden raisins
wrinkled feet and toes
white prunes
black drops splatter
mascara runs
streaks down my face
lose sense of time
minutes go
people come home
turn nozzle
water off
towel dry
pass mirror by
