abandoned tub

the rusted
tub
in the woods
once held
a tired naked
body
in warm
water.
perhaps,
they brought
a book
in to read,
or lit
a candle,
maybe there was
a glass of
wine sitting
on the porcelain
edge,
but now
it sits
empty, some weeds
coming through
the drain
around the pipes,
a home
for frogs,
and birds,
things
that need
shelter.
they don't seem
to find it
unusual
to find a tub
abandoned deep
into the woods.
but you
do.
