When dirt is part of your skin

it can be hard to get clean
I don't even know
not really and not for sure
if I want to

So I shower and smile through my teeth
and eyes glint in the light
surmising that maybe once we stumbled together
against dawn

more likely
the wind held me up
and danced my skirt up to my thighs
fingers of dawn opening my legs

daybreak
