dryer

i can hear the 

drying machine

and it's faint hum 

spinning, spinning

and i hope it's 

louder than my 

choked sobs

and gasps

i cant breathe

breathe

breathe

breathe 

in, out 

this does nothing

in, out 

why do i try

in, out

i still ache

ding, the dryer's done

it was enough time

for the clothes to dry

yet my face is

wet
