and she'd just done dishes, fed up, she'd confessed
after his hard day...

Mopping with gloved hands, tools of steel,
Wiping away blood and sweat from the floor,
Scrubbing the metal, blades, and hooks,
Sponges damp like the weight of sacrifice.

the words that drive my daily thoughts
past wastelands of dirty laundry
and heaped up dishes that scream out
wash me while the water's hot
we're important, writing'...

Clean
...I’m busy again.
Dusting, organizing, mopping.
Everything is clean already.
We already swept up all her old food.

My expression cringing.
My finger twinging.
But still I reminisce.
Of the fireplace’s caress.
While dusting the places...
