Moonshining in the Outdoor Clawfoot Tub Tonight: Amid the wildly tangled Fragrances of Jasmine and honeysuckle, Hot water fills The old enameled Cast iron tub. Steam rises, To soften silhouettes. Young owls screech to be fed Frogs in the neighbor's pond Sing. Tonight The simplicity of Soaking in that old tub While watching Venus and Jupiter Slow dance As the moon rises, Bathing in the moonlight, Makes everything Very, Simply, Intoxicating.
