¨#¨##¨#¨¨#   light doesn't reach, and warmth comes  ##¨#¨#¨##¨
##¨¨#¨#¨##  mostly from below - here is the shower. ¨#¨#¨#¨¨#¨

¨#¨##¨#¨¨#   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  ¨#¨#¨#¨¨#¨

##¨¨#¨#¨##  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    ¨#¨#¨#¨¨#¨
