Get completely naked
Fill your tub
with water, as hot
as you can handle
it (foams & oils
are optional)
Get in, slowly,
one
foot
at a time,
easing
yourself down
until you are
entirely immersed,
letting the heat
envelop your body
Fill your lungs
with a deep, slow
breath. Hold it
for a second,
& ease it out
Close your eyes
Let this page
fall away
Feel the touch
of a lover's finger
glide
along the bridge
of your nose
Smell the scent
given off
by the tears
of a crying rose
Let your tongue roll
around candy-colored
rocks flavored
amaretto
Listen to
Caruso's voice
flowing
with falsetto
Watch the love
bounce
against the walls
of an infant's eyes
Revel
in the feel
of velvet drawn
between your thighs
Feed
some honey
to a bee
Watch Fellini
dance
on your knee
Teach
a lemming
how to read
Plant
a river
from a seed
Build
a mansion
with a hair
Pluck
a mango
from the air...
Continue,
careful
not to let your skin
prune
Rinse
Repeat as necessary
