A Laundry List of Reasons
Ink stains the spotless
Like silver on glass
Reflecting pure gold
Though my heart’s made of brass
Quills mend the parchment
Silk stitched, verses thread
Pillow thought garments
Quilt comforts of bed
Wells unveil colors
Envisioned by saints
Landscape of language
Soul’s palette and paint
Tasting each line
Black on ivory soap
Washing my mouth out
’Til gleaming with hope
Slate spilled on chalk-white
Lead steeping, loose-leaf
White cotton tea-towels
Dyed with poetry
Housekeeping, laundry
Darks bleed on white
Clean, I pin up my flesh
On the prose-line to dry
