Trying to Poem

Lamentation howling

Cat scratch yowling

A toddler head shake 

No no no

Cleaning and cleaning

and cleaning 

Again

Starting sentences that never

Laundry in 

Laundry out

Fold it, hold it, mark it with an A

Put it in the oven for baby and me

Dirty dishes clean dishes wet dishes dry

Bottles nipples

Mama mine

Berries berries BERRIES

We’ll dine on mince and slices of quince

We’ll all fall, fall off the wall

Heart so big it leaks out my eyes

Head so tired I lie down and 

Goodnight nobody

Goodnight mush
