Ode to a Bucket Bath

Ode to a Bucket Bath

By Ashley and Sisi

How refreshing and cool

When your contents rush over my skin

As though a dip in a pool

With my eyes shut tight I feel the rush

Of cold and of delight

My spirit and body you replenish

I lather the soap with bubbles and joy

Messaging away sadness and filth

For this style of bath, you cannot be coy

Oh my bucket bath, I sense your allure

As I stand here dripping

I am baptized by your cure

What love, what euphoria!

Peace overwhelms my heart

As I sing Halleluiah, Gloria!
