Twist of fate.


Lee Miller in Hitlers bathtub 
Munich 1945 by D.E.Sherman.



This rain never stops
it gathers
in stagnant puddles of despair
insidiously soaking through our skin.
We cling on,
slipping through the mud of emotions
that even now
are masked
camouflaged
denied.
Their boots mark out a grid reference
which we skirt around.
Distant trucks rumble
as hope sinks,
now the lowest depths yet.
Wash me clean
(a scented soaped sponge
an exquisite memory)
scrub the numbers from my wrist
and twist my hair dry
droplets of fate splash on your feet
hold my hand
as we walk onward together.
