Restrictions: None
Delicates (Softly Worn)
Hand Wash Only (Gentle)

With delicate cycle selected,
trusted to a fine fabric,
I fell into a wash with you.
Turbulent times have been
sometimes torn, always mended,
but never the same as before.

I slipped in this bath with you.
Soft cells sluffed away, sent
to a hungry drain
eager for more of our skin.

Turbulent it could seem,
memory washing from life.
With delicate cycle selected,
let a fine fabric spin, again.
I cling to you, just as
you have clung, sometimes
separate to inhale tender fragrance.

Dry, we reassemble folded,
another day adorned, softly worn.
