¨^~^%$#@##  mostly from below - here is the shower. ##@#$%^~^¨

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

¨^~^%$#@##  keep you entranced, and keep you from   ##@#$%^~^¨
¨¨^~^%$#@#    leaving the cabin prematurely. this   #@#$%^~^¨¨
¨^~^%$#@##  whole ordeal works best if you are not  ##@#$%^~^¨

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