Just taking a shower

Shower

My neck stiffens
As I turn on the tap.

A loud, hoarse croak
And the hose vomits

The cold, frothing water.
Shivering I submerge the

Green pail into the red bucket.
Eyes shut. A wave of tremor

Like a premonition
Rolls over me

Just before the piercing
Cold stabs my

Naked skin.
The first is always

The hardest. And twice
Everyday I would endure

The first pail.
