Hot Tub
Had a fall Tuesday and bruises are just beginning to blossom, knees and one hip, other frontward bits. Today I itch and ache. I draw a bath so hot the dorsal side of me turns bright pink. You can see the various waterlines along my thighs where I shift between poems. (I am reading The Dark Time of Angels, and each poem holds me perfectly still). Black and green on one side, bright pink on the other -- I look like a lobster who has had a narrow escape.

See if they have “Deep Water Bath” at stores near you. I can find them at Linens and Things cheapest. Nice suction device that works more consistently than the washcloth in the overflow drain.
