He sits there as I take my bath.
Downcast, as though waiting for maternal praise or forgiveness.
I know this, because 10 years with a man hones ones instincts.
But I feel uncomfortable within my own skin, so I am breaking routine.
I am in my own head, thinking instead, of stone and steel, which, once polished will reflect what they have been shown. As I am now.
He could grab hold of me, as he could a stone, or polished blade, but beneath the comforting reflection of himself, is found just rock and metal.
So he sits. Not speaking. Not looking.
And I almost remember being woman, pliable and soft and comfortable in my own skin.
