Nothing comes to the surface
so I seek
beneath the greasy suds
wrist deep in the weeks worth
of dirty dishes
for any
crystal inkling
reaching
grasping
gripping
an oil slick
serrated
steel
smile
in my palm
I close my hand
imbruing the water
with sanguine swirls
saponifying my mind
NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 4
