"Assailant"
Warm water
assails
the crown
of my head
cascading
my forehead,
runnels forming
over closed
eyelids,
eyelashes a
penetrable barrier
leading to into
a valley made
by nose
and cheekbone.
Droplets pooling
in the cleft
of my upper lip,
one
solitary
precarious drop
slides down
into the corner
of my mouth.
