On a monsoon’s sunday morning
I woke up realising I have got laundry to do.
Piled up clothes, sitting on a chair, depressed?
As if they’re mocking me,
with a shirt’s sleeve crumpled hiding the buttons.
Exact the way I hide my conscience,
it is minimal but impactful.
Wish we had some sort of detergent too
for monthly- (ah? A month? Nope) weekly healing.
We all deserve fluidic companions,
on a sunday morning.
To hide our consciences,
their presence is like a scoop of liquid detergent,
all set to wash away our temporary worries.
I woke up seeing drenched funeral clothes
Why did you leave so soon, my mate?
I love the line “minimal but impactful”
Poignant writing!
