Clothes

I wash different articles of you and recall all the ways I tossed them---
carelessly
anxiously
hurriedly
excitedly
lovingly
Each and every time knowing that us was "it"

The spinning cycle continues
And I remember that's the way I feel now---
Going round and round;
Shaking, like the way I did
When you were beside me
Around me
Inside my every word...thought...deed

I've finally rinsed away all of me
From the one thing I actually know
I love

And I'll fold you and
Put you back the way
I found you, once I dry
My tears
