The bath from Architecture Exuberant! by Asher White

You’re finishing as hot water comes tumbling out the anus of the drain
and outside over the roof a snow storm comes rumbling
with worn feathers and twists of knotted braids

And he’ll be punishing you for all your new developments
every building you destroyed
all the cemeteries that shoulder the covenant
that you had shattered in the void

Fearful now I’m so sorry that it worked.
Careful now I am not so hard to hurt

Will you be hovering like the kingdom of Solomon or are your castles made of sand
and as you’re thumbing through yellowed blueprints all condemning you with a lonely wrinkled hand

brush your body against the tender piers of sandalwood, clean yourself in the Salton Sea
You have given me a vision of your paradise and I will not rest till it’s complete

Before now you’ve never seen a sky so white
and it will scoop you in its cold fluorescent light

Careful now, I’m not doing any better
Careful now, we lose our footprints in the weather
