Darks from pastels,
naturally,
delicates
from the rest,
high-performance
fabrics from
heavy cotton.
In one pile
shirts and socks;
in the other
your still pill-
less sweater, my
gossamer
running shorts
that heat will
destroy, rain
jackets that
can’t withstand
chemical
overload.
* poem, in its entirety, is available in the printed version of the current issue.
