Sunday Laundry


                                                       Nose buried in a wind-dried towel -
                                                       you can’t chemicalize this scent.
                                                       Sun’s fading, the inside pockets
                                                       of his jeans still damp, as pink &
                                                       green plastic clothespins tumble
                                                       from the basket, a sock
                                                       goes missing

                                                       again.
