As I iron so
Posted on Sun, 05 Jul 2020
As I iron so rarely it is very stressful and concentrated so not sure if your poem is an accurate reflection on normal ironing. However it is BRILLIANT description of washing machine noise, I love how it goes round and round like my thoughts...

I like having moth in mothers

so many wonderful lines!
"thread light"
"distractions of reflections"
