Laundry Day
I do your laundry
because it makes me feel close to you
The labors of your day embedded
in the fibers
I pull your shirt from the dryer
And hold it to my nose and breathe you in
It’s all there
your dedication
your off-kilter smile
your quiet reassurance
So I smile as I fold it and place it in the basket
just as you encircle my waist with your arms
and kiss the back of my neck
giving me all the thanks I need
Making laundry erotic again?
Can’t it be? Lol
