MouldA Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)The Bain of our lives stupid ditty
Bunnings eat your heart out
You keep us home makers Leaving a steady trail To your shop running through it’s manly tooly aisles Alone us women push bluntly through What’s new on the shelf I see a new white bottle With pic of a shiny tile I want that tile it belongs to mine To replace my dingy creamy green Specks of Black that Somehow always reappear Mould in my house Like mould through my years Someone always dying or leaving me And bringing me to years of tissued out tears I stand in my bathroom with rags and bleach in tow I see my life before me Bleached white As if it’s pure snow I scrub I wrestle with that brush The bleach it’s making me cry The mould in my life Enough is enough I shout The bath and shower all shiny My gloves I throw away I won’t sit and cry over mould For any more of my days © 2018 Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere) |
