The ironing board

Ironing board 
Bare feet
You'd make me food
I'd eat

Little later straight clothes
No holes 
Warm in winter
The splinter

I have no ironing board now
But still that board reminds me how
I have grown to not need so pressed clothes
Oppressed woes

But the ironing board 
Remains at your place
I'll remember those days
And of course your face

The ironing board
