deeper than words

170degrees, sitting in a hot wood lined box
burning from the outside in.
sweat pouring from unknown places
the dark side coming to the surface
daring to overpower the senses.
the naked body accepting the destiny.

36degrees, a cold shower
water boiling as it touches the skin.
the dark side fighting to stay
on the surface
retreating until next time.
feeling alive in the uncomfortable.
one more minute.
