Ritual purity

Blood swirled around the sinkhole

While I showered, in there an hour 

At full power, half drowned 

No clowning I slumped down 

Screaming crying 

Breathing like a breeder crowning 

Getting out, my back squeaking 

Against the bathtub, against glass 

Hands pressed, I was caressed gently 

But the room was empty save me

Hour or three lounging in towels 

Testing perfumes off my keys 

Mounds like flour, pound measures.
