The Washing Machine
Location
I think
he left her.
The boy,
the one with the leather jacket
I wasn't allowed to wash.
I didn't see him go
because she keeps me hidden,
in the closet,
with the hamper that collects memories
of yesterday.
I heard the slamming door
and the heavy sound
shoes make when
they are making their final leave.
Now she's on rinsemode
all the time
and her circuit board won't
switch to spin.
She doesn't let me
wash anymore
and the hamper
is filled.
I think
she left me.
