Containing myself,
I rest my hands
upon the basin’s rim
– where yesterday you shaved, as usual.
Calming my breath,
a slow exhalation revealing a ghost of your wrath:
I’m OUT OF HERE!

Oh that’s clever! I like this a lot (:
Thank you!
Very good! Very original.
I really like this! Very creative take on the prompt. Love the line “the ghost of your wrath” – beautiful!
micely different. 🙂
I’m loving this unique interpretation of the prompt!
“Ghost of you wrath” — gorgeous phrase.
Thank you – that started out as “Wraith of your anger” but I think the final form is better.
How cruel! Yes, ghost of your wrath.
