BLEACH

it's about losing value to something essential such as a Nirvana BLEACH album or to anoverworked shirt.

In my Scarlet moments 

          I can't contain my focus

My thought rises

cracking cemented sizes

        my flannel is wet never dry

   time for a salute and a goodbye

         my room smells of a holy plant

          I need to let it go but I can't

          

        The morning fleas

         and I step on my  broken VHC's

the co-co clocks ticks

the paints peals

and  vanishes 

the sunflower dies

the machine twirls fast

         a soft button -blast!

bleach, soap , and clean!

     the memories burn and flee

               the shirt begins to speak

            "I thought you loved me!"

Julie, do you mean "the morning fleas"?
Or the morning flees?
The meaning changes a LOT...

I'm not being picky, just trying to help.

Oh don't worry you're not being picky. Its good to ask questions! Thank you for trying to help however I did mean morning fleas. I wanted my readers to imagine a very "grungy and "unclean" atmosphere in my poem. The poem is about nirvanas first album, bleaching old clothes and getting new things.
