Bleach
Clean / wrapped in your embrace / freckled hands / chemical / red from intensive labor / pristine linen sheets / sanitized dishes / the five second rule / does not apply / to tile floor / in our house / white cottons / doused / holds memory / stains on colors / gently remind / my love / for you / mom/
I really liked the imagery. You made it so easy to picture how a scent can evoke memories.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m hoping to use this as framework for a solid poem to go in a future manuscript.
