I saw a woman

I saw a woman........bathi....
Bathing at night
I was on the roof and the moon was bright.
She scooped the water like water is life
It ran down her body like she gave it life
She touched her body as if it was ash
With so much care and unbelievable love
Her breasts were like two hills
Of prosperity and Good will
Her hair crowled down her back
Like a poor man following his heart
I could smell the fragrance of her bathing
As though bathing had a fragrance.
The moon and I were watching
To make sure the sun was not rising
She bent to scoop more water
For a moment I wished I were water
I wanted to jump off the roof
And fall..... in love like a fool
Until I slid and heard people laughing
Then realized I was just reading a book
