the mother is beautiful behind the glass shower door
bent over her growing restless daughter
she moves quickly constantly to keep
ahead of the feverish temperament her long
dark hair spilling over her thin shoulders
she gathers it again at the back of her neck as she rinses
her twirling daughter in the light spray
and I watch
as she washes her tired bending body impatiently
her daughter sitting under the spray also watching.
