From Universal Flowering:

you stand at the mirror
in the picture I have of you
it's fogged but for one clear streak
from your long strong fingers
I’m perched tubside, out of frame
watching you lather your badger brush
I want you to put your hand on my cheek
tip my chin back
and scrape the steel across my skin
the white foam falls into the sink
still white
I want you to render me gentle and smooth
my reflection soft with steam and you’re soft too
I want you to find my eyes
In every morning mirror
