A balm for flesh

Picture
I'm standing in the bathroom
Regarding the soap carefully
Looking at my hands
And I'm thinking I will wash them
Long and hot
Of us
Of you
Of all of the empty reassurances
And all the things I could never say
The resulting cracks
The blood
The pain of dry winter skin
Will be better
Than the constant gnaw of you
Inside me
There is a balm for flesh
