womb with a view

 womb with a view


back in the womb of the laundry room

the washing machine all sloshing and boom

the duvet downs the colds undone

re-entry countdown just begun

the waters break

in tears for goodness sake

the tumble dryer

the breathings higher

and higher things

the mangle brings

as down you slide on to the floor

no more no more

i just can’t take it any more

gas and air

and then you’re there

the boiler ignites

everything’s all right

it was all just a swoon

in the womb of the laundry room
