#@##£^/~.¨     underground rain. drenching you,     ¨.~/^£##@#
@##£^/~.¨¨   lathering you. infused with oils and   ¨¨.~/^£##@
##£^/~.¨¨¨  scents. and then, also from above, the  ¨¨¨.~/^£##
@##£^/~.¨¨    shower creatures. first their black   ¨¨.~/^£##@
#@##£^/~.¨  velvet arms, touching, and then entire  ¨.~/^£##@#

#@##£^/~.¨    drained... and then brought back,     ¨.~/^£##@#
@##£^/~.¨¨  slowly, waking as the water dries off   ¨¨.~/^£##@
##£^/~.¨¨¨    of you. cabin open to the cold air    ¨¨¨.~/^£##
@##£^/~.¨¨ tickling your fresh-born mind. creature  ¨¨.~/^£##@
