Clairity's Place Offers Up a "Debt Sentence"

Clairity of Clairity's Place has captured a marvelous moment in many of our lives:

Perched on the butt-cold tub edge,
I watch him scrape stubble from his face.
Tears wash off curses; soap films over excuses.
The mirror is spattered as if set under a sprinkler,
the cloudy beads of cold water set hard in spots.
He nicks the skin beneath his ear,
and a fat red drop slips down the curve
of his cheekbone and lands on his neck.

Read the whole thing. Thank me later.
