as the unknown female exits the shower room
carrying nothing but her towel
and identity.
The lose hair that decays
when the water drips from the hose,
clogs the drain that once was an outlet
for cleanliness.
The smell of a woman is in the air
even though one has already
passed through.
No one can take the place of a sibling of
misfortune.
No one can take the place of a sibling related
To the grim reaper.
I, for one, don't want to.
Please.
Stop telling me everything is okay.
I can't handle the lies beneath.
Better hurry and get out
Before its too late;
Before damage is done.
Oh no, it has already begun.
