Housewives II

Hello Poetry Lovers

Today I would like to further explore housework and what it really does. Does it really make a difference? Can it really clean everything ?! It can’t erase past arguments, and emotions.

This one’s a bit grim, not my usual style but read on and see what you think….

Cleaning the marks of a house is impossible

You can wipe things over and hope for the best

But you can’t shine up the arguments and tension. 

You can wash the floor but the bitching remains

You can change sheets all you want, 

But you can’t stop those nights of worrying. 

Spraying a mirror will not erase the memory

Of what it has already seen

However, dusting can be good for the soul – with your eyes closed!
