oh here i am, footless again
sitting in a tiny boat in the bathtub

touching each of my eight breasts
touching the cluster of hood-hidden

nerves, the wait hurts, the wanting
 
moutarde dijon spread on the soles
of my feet well haven’t you

ever wanted to leave a print, a thick mess
of gold seed vinegar in your wake
