Late Night Conversion
steamy pour of shower over head, neck, back
drain-off of the day’s residue
sudsy soothe of lavender-scented soap
fresh towel rub, herbal tease left on skin
sigh between newly laundered sheets
the tender insistence of Charlie’s hand:
We generate our own clean energy.

…clean energy that powers the world!
(hope that was Sunflower Sundries soap you were using…)
Jim, I anticipated how wonderful the lavender soap will feel! Got my order today! Sudsy soothe tomorrow!
I love how this starts with a hot shower and by the end some readers may need a cold one.
Hee hee, Larry!
We generate our own clean energy.
Love it!
I loved the moment!
Nice one, Kathleen.
Thanks, Debbie!
I love it when you talk dirty.
Seriously, this an elegant account of a vignette. I especially love the creation of clean energy. This reminds me of a statement I first heard in college when discussing mechanization. “The human brain is still the only high quality data processor that can be produced by unskilled labor”.
So true that this poem speaks on an elemental level.
Loved the clean energy. Wish everyone could generate it with love ;*)
Me too, Mary!
