Hot Water


You know when you are running water for a bath, hot hot water, and you have your hand in the stream, and it becomes so hot that it is almost cold against your skin? And how ice can be so cold that it burns, like frost bite, how it starts to feel like fire? That is how I've felt about you lately. I thought about your feet, the way you dance down the stairs, and the water was so hot that it blistered. Please don't cry when I tell you I have hated you lately. It's just really hot water. Unbearably hot water.
