Rinse out frustration
With lavender shampoo.
Exfoliate tear-trails
With peach sea-salt scrub.
Temper the pent anger
With a dab of astringent.
Slough away sorrow
With a fluffy towel.
Reach for the cotton swabs
With a damp hand.
Long fingers fumble
With the slickness of water on glass.
CRASH
Shattering of glass
Breaking of the dam.
Shards sparkle.
Tears fall.
Rinse and Repeat
when it rains, itshowers? by Magpie Poet
