Dirty Linen
Sunlight pushes tiny fingers through gaps in the curtains
They leave laser lines over the bed
Illuminating the disarray of cotton and linen
Tangled, love knotted sheets brazenly obvious.
DNA strand on the pillow tells tales on you
Long and golden, a length of yellow silk
I hold it between shaking digits
and in my minds eye can see her reclining in ecstasy
The sails of the bed are shaken and thrown
To the confines of dirty secrets and soiled promises
Willingly replaced by the fresh sweet smelling squares
That we bought together, before.
