A washerwoman found my spirit, intact but stained, discarded by the road.
Well-meaning gal, she scrubbed my soul, already thin as a moth wing, with a Brillo pad and lava soap. Then she went and bleached my angel wings.
I bet there’s lots of folks feeling this same way. When we see each other, tattered but alive and clean, let’s nod to each other or perhaps do a chin flick.
