House Cleaning

Another old piece reposted.

Used mop water

makes for acurate

reflections.

 

But only if

you see yourself

as impure.

 

Streaks on the

bathroom mirror

cut you.

 

But only if

you don't

wipe them away.

 

Juice stains

on white t-shirts

remind you of mistakes.

 

But only if

you don't

wash them out.

 

Dirty toilets

stink of

regrets.

 

But only if

you don't

flush them away.

 

House cleaning

is dirty

buisness.

 

But somebody

has to

do it.

I liked this piece. I liked it because you have incorperated life within the makings of housework. The mistakes hint of what has come before, life that has been lived and loved, and all has been forgiven.
