post holiday

laundry forbidden--

a week

without wash

except...

babies, like

my baby home from 

the wars

so I scrubbed only his uniform

and then

holidays over, 

in suspense, 

will the hot desert winds

continue long enough

to blow my wash

dry?

innumerable laundries later, 

every last clothes pin 

collected, 

from 

under  

the lines

and now

the big question--

when and how

will I 

fold and sort?!
