She stayed in the bath Until the water got Milky with self-pity. She got out, naked. She held the cat on her lap Her naked thighs red. His claws left white marks Red lines of blood on old scars Stray fur stuck to her skin. Blue flannel PJ’s She giggles in spite of herself, Milky with self-pity

Bath
She stayed in the bath Until the water got Milky with self-pity. She got out, naked. She held the cat on her lap Her naked thighs red. His claws left white marks Red lines of blood on old scars Stray fur stuck to her skin. Blue flannel PJ’s She giggles in spite of herself, Milky with self-pity
