Bloom Into Someone Stunning

Bath 

bomb
dropped in
the hottest 
of steam.
Water turns
pink
releasing 
pressed flowers
from the ball
of pretty. 
Wet oily
flowers stick
to my skin.
The lonely
float begins. 
Baking soda
cleanse
with the nostalgia
of cornstarch. 
Chemical 
reactions 
remind me
of us.
As I let
the water
drain
from the white
tub stained
with tint
I let the 
flowers
stay on
me. 
Catch and
release 
at this
occasion. 
Release
your liquid
memory 
spin in the
pipes below.
Catch
permission 
to bloom
into 
someone 
stunning.
