Soap


by Jared Wahlgren




Complementary hotel soap
(Lord & Mayfair)
And everyone smells the same
dip me in sugar, my love
dip me with your long soft arms
your sugar slim wrists
Looking through the hotel cart
for a souvenir
watch-less, and wrinkled khakis
A bottle of shampoo
(Lord & Mayfair)
For cleaning the head

 



*Previously published in Flutter
