Baptism

Thank you R.A.D. Stainforth, for bringing my words to life ...

I draw a bath,
an extra holy one

listen to Gould
play Moonlight Sonata;

realize it's sometimes good
to conjure new rhythms,
modulate the time-scale.

Embedded bruises rinse pale,
trickle along transitory lines
to the sanctity of the river.

I come downstairs,
steeped smooth and soft,
to find you, anticipant on the sofa.

Christen me with your best icky,
your most sophisticated stuff.
