Wash          *Away the memories of how         We tangled together         Like the perfect sailor’s knot         An organized intricacy           Coalescing my jumpy nerves         With your easy laughter* Rinse *The weight of your fingers          Imprinted on my scalp          A heartbreaking muscle memory         Fingers that once ran through my hair         Run to another’s touch* Repeat *This sadistic cycle of erasure          Hoping one day forgetting          Won’t be a conscious thought          That shower shall set me free.*
