15 minutes..

[moonriverdreams]

metal tub.
icebergs.
rubber duckies.

the quicker you get in
the less it hurts.

tears.
whimpers.
labor-like breathing.
hair pulling.
hands holding.

relax.
tell me a story.
hear me sing.
"bermuda, bahama, come on pretty mama."

there's a pain in my toes.
ignore it.

quick, get out.
wet spandex.
needles in my legs.
dance in towels outside.

warm sweats.
warm seat heater.
warm.
warm.
warm.
