LAUNDRY BREAK

LAUNDRY BREAK




Just soap up, swirl in circles, rinse, dry--
Such a simple method
To wash out the daily grime and sweat of the day. 

That’s all well and good for clothes. 

Where do I power wash my regrets
                                                         omissions
                                                                          missteps?

Do they just get buried
 in soul crevices
 or mind cubbyholes 
 To spill out when I’m tired
                                            or vulnerable
                                                                 or sad? 

These imps,
these mini-devils of angst
remain restless 
They lie in wait to prickle 
                                           and remind
                                                              and blame 
                                                                                and finger-wag. 

 SHUT UP>>>SHUT UP>>>SHUT UP! 

 (I feel so much better now!)

you are having such fun with word-clouds aren't you, divine Ms M.I love your ability to put words into feelings and experiences of life into metaphors.
