Overstuffed and Unwieldy

A mountain of fabric, colors entwined,

each piece a reminder, a thought poorly timed.

The hamper overflows, a chaotic display,

mundane woven stories, lost in the fray.


A crumpled shirt holds laughter from days long past,

while socks paired in silence, a memory cast.

Fingers sift through the weight of it all,

shadows of moments too small to recall.


In this cluttered pile, I wrestle and fold,

a tapestry of life, the tender, the bold.

The mundane speaks volumes, tangled like fate,

my heart in these fibers, the silence it creates.
