¨##¨#¨#¨#¨  light doesn't reach, and warmth comes   #¨#¨#¨##¨#
¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  mostly from below - here is the shower. #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨                                          #¨#¨#¨##¨#
¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  it is dark. you strip, and it's cold.   #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨   your feet feel the cold stone floor,   #¨#¨#¨##¨#
¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   your hands find the rubber handles to  #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨         guide you into the cabin.        #¨#¨#¨##¨#

¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨     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  #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨        bodies. chests and snouts.        #¨#¨#¨##¨#

¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   keep you entranced, and keep you from  #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨   leaving the cabin prematurely. this    #¨#¨#¨##¨#

¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨     drained... and then brought back,    #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
¨##¨#¨#¨#¨   slowly, waking as the water dries off  #¨#¨#¨##¨#
¨¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    of you. cabin open to the cold air    #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
