a public fountain
the light on the ripples
a dull roar in my ears
staring at the bubbles and fading
a rush of images
flooding through my heart
when by candlelight
we were once in water
together bathing kissing
so i dangle my feet in
to feel the rushing
again i think softly
the smell of clean
you pulled me in
naked hands tracing my back
so i bend and scoop liquid
to hold the memory too
wet hair clinging
skin slipping easily
i washed you and
kissed you everywhere
eyes close and i can't stop
so i slide down and
gasp at the cold
solitary and feeling
better for laughing
i splash and scream
i must have been mad
dancing and soaked
bathing in a fountain
drowning in a memory.
