the skin needs moisture so much moisture
this is hard to accommodate
at times
I am frequently tired
from the doting labors
of bringing her
chalice after chalice of amphibian broth
cleansing her toe webs
with lanolin and aloe swabs
being the gentle hand with the cool moist towelette
I am disheveled as a result
I smell like swamp bottom
and I think I have small algal blooms
in various moist and hidden spaces
she is worth these petty sufferings
and she will extract much more toil over time
