Silvia

took three showers today
I cant seem to wash you
down that damn drain
away from my heart
and eclipsing brain

I dont know, you.
like i know this water
clinking with ice
in my glass.
clinking the empty
sounds of that hollow
space beneath my breasts

Cold and prespiring,
I cant wash you off
like this water
running down my cheeks
like this water flowing
away from my body like
this water pouring down that drain.
