S U I T S (#2)

42// unclean

42// unclean

In the bath
I scrubbed every inch of myself
in soap
until I was red and sore

Then I jumped into the shower
and washed my hair and body
five times

Even when I wreathed the towel
against my body
brushed my teeth and cleansed myself

I would never

Never

Never

Never

get the smell of burning sugar
out of my pores

Or the taste of his tongue
out of my mouth
or the smell of him
out of my memory

I had to wash the sheets
and get new ones and make sure
everything was perfect
before Grayson got home

Oh fuck

Grayson
