The bar soap I use
to wash myself
is a shade of pink
that is almost cute
I dropped it today
and flinched a little
Caressed it with water
until tiny white bubbles
covered up the dent in
slippery white freckles
But it appeared once again
as the foam washed off
I looked at it closely
to whisper a sorry
it looked right back
in a lopsided grin
That's when I noticed
this little pink blob
was carrying the dents
from all of the drops
An unsuspecting allegory if there was ever one hiding in a bar of soap :)
ReplyDeleteDitto to what Anannya said. With what ease you've crafted something that is simple and yet profound at once.
ReplyDeleteSo simple and fun on the surface but it says so much. Thank you for this!
