Sofa
Leaning right
Cover over
Hides the filthy years of wear and living.

I unfortunately have a distinct past vision of this very couch. I think alot of people might have that old piece of furniture that has oh so visibly experienced life. Congratulations on getting a placement in this contest.

Sometimes the stained, bent sofa can recall such memories. Like you, I "cover over" furniture like this, but in doing so, perhaps we are covering the memories as well. Very intriguing write, Doris! Love, Carolyn
