pouring water

i woke up
i thought
i have to remember that
i have to tell him that

i went back to sleep

i can't remember
what i needed to tell you
so
i would be tempted
just to leave off

except

i have this one image

and
i'm not saying that
i know what it means
but
it is compelling
at least
to me

there is a tub
a really nice tub
maybe like one of those fancy
roman soaking tubs (i think that's what they call em)
and the faucet
it wouldn't shut off
it was just
pouring water
continuously
without end

and
for whatever reason
that made me kind of happy
