| Women with a towel by Edgar Degas |
The bath
Always this special place
closed away from the world
and family
saturated with steam
and warmth.
So much more than bathing
a place to day dream
and imagine
lose myself in clouds of mist
explore my body.
What is not to love about a bath
with scented soaps
and bubbles
big lush towels
against skin.
A time stolen from the day
to pretend to no one
who I am
A sabbatical
from me.
