Short Textiles Poems

When wrinkles settle in the skin
There's not much you can do,

Your skin look smooth and new.

But when your clothes or tablecloths
Get wrinkled from the dryer,

I heard a cleanly, fouled dredging
When I thought of the clean heart
When I thought of the clean heart
The fresh friend finishing
The groomed gut gargling
As of someone gently refinishing, refinishing
Deep into that darkness open
My mind always strays to furnishings
The groomed green-ware giving
The textiles came outliving
Covering me partially
Oh!  God my house and heart filthy, dirty Lord God give me a clean heart
