Sensational Grooming

The trickling of water, cold
on and through the hair
appeasing the cracked surfaces
drought from a four-hour exposure.

Fingers pressed on the temples
Eyes wide shut, wanting sleep
then a cool, creamy liquid
snakes around the vines.

More pressure on the left and right
scratching, caressing, massaging
bubbles bubbles, soapy sweet
feathery feeling, keep going.

The waters trickle once more
continuous dropping, cold
smooth, refreshing
sensational.
