I've Just Received a Screamer

and I deserved every word of it! My apologies to Princess Consuela who will be gravitating on May 2 with not one but TWO(2)(dos)(deux)DEGREES OF GLORY: elementary education AND deaf education. Please take a moment to conglomerate her on this most auspicious occlusion.

Laundry

All our life
so much laundry;
each day's doing or not
comes clean,
flows off and away
to blend with other sins
of this world. Each day
begins in new skin,
blessed by the elements
charged to take us
out again to do or undo
what's been assigned.
From socks to shirts
the selves we shed
lift off the line
as if they own
a life apart
from the one we offer.
There is joy in clean laundry.
All is forgiven in water, sun
and air. We offer our day's deeds
to the blue-eyed sky, with soap and prayer,
our arms up, then lowered in supplication.
-Ruth Moose
