*Soap froth sprays in the air
Up down up down it goes
Rhythmic swings don’t care
If the detergent smells of rose!
She has to cleanse all dirt
Rub off the dourest stain
In it she puts her heart
Thereby forgets own pain!
Rises the lever up far
Swoops down fast with a thud
Rainbow bubbles scatter around her
She knew not when staled a rosebud!
In the tub water her ocean
She squeezes the wetness dry
She knows only this motion
Got no time to look at the sky!
Now in the sun she must spread
Fabric of brightness on sight
Her own life’s long lost thread
Is buried in the hush of night!
Does she remember the broken oaths
Her life never nurtured in sun
Worn out as all her washed clothes
Faded like all the years gone!*

Rhythmic swings don’t care

Rises the lever up far
Swoops down fast with a thud
Rainbow bubbles scatter around her
She knew not when staled a rosebud!
In the tub water her ocean
She squeezes the wetness dry
She knows only this motion
Got no time to look at the sky!
Now in the sun she must spread
Fabric of brightness on sight
Her own life’s long lost thread
Is buried in the hush of night!
Does she remember the broken oaths
Her life never nurtured in sun
Worn out as all her washed clothes
Faded like all the years gone!*
