In my red
bathtub,
my ceramic,
clawfoot
bathtub,
with a single
yellow light,
above the mirror-
I lie with you
a lover who
holds me in his
arms,
romantically
I've never met
a friend
like you
who I love
so endless-
ly
and as we lie,
the water
slowly
cooling,
our knobby
knees bobbing
in the bliss
I know there's love
for me
in you
I see it somewhere
in your
touch
even though
I'm just a friend
I love you and you
know it
and I hope one
day you'll show it
too.
