Love an Irish Poet

"A Few Lines of Laundry"

This ragged shining,
these embodied nothings
are the images of us:

full of ourselves
in every puff of air
hanging on

for dear life. At mid-day,
when the wind picks up,
such dancing. Look at us:

washed and stretched
to the limit,
almost touching one another.
