" I am still learning <br /> how to go back and reread<br /> my own chapters <br /> without feeling like I <br /> want to set all of my pages <br /> on fire" - E.V. Rogina



I can’t get this stain

No matter how hard I try

Trying not to be vain


It’s a hard life

Doing Laundry is my only job

Helping to make people a good afterlife


Washing their regrets

Soaking up their pain

Ironing their frets


Drying their tears

Folding and hiding their stains

Putting them away to rid their fears


I’m the Laundress, here to help
