DISHES
Flip tip faucet. Flip tip to the side. A little hotter lot of water hot. Steam rise streams.
Bubbles brambling bumbling brimming. Bubbles that are not bubbles. No bubbles yet.
Blue. Leaky streaking. Blue. Blue. Blue. Swishy swash. Dry wet rag. Just a little in concentric circles, just a bit of swish.
Clatter in the knives and spoons. Cozy to the toe kick, clatter in the noisy pointed faces. And the moony faceless spoons. Float them on under the bubbles, not bubbles. No blue. Not to be seen blue not to be seen faces. A moonrise.
Gently gently cups. Swiping. Finish mouth. Where was the mouth? Lip stains. Lip stains and milk stains. All the backwash washed back. Gently gently cups. Gently gently go on. No more words. Dripping quiet thoughts never said. Gently.
A bowl. Too much salt. Rinse.
The pickle dish pickle dish ticklish. Soapy. Soapy snow not snow bubbles yes bubbles now. Bubbles cling like little daisies to toes at dawn. Bubbles soaping pickle dish. Pickle ish. Swish.
Spatula. Spat. Chew. La. La La La, whistle while you work. Soapy wet hands slipping on the pans. Slipping and sliding. Slip slip whisk whisk. The whisk. Huh. Whih. Sk. Crackly cookie crumbles caught between the cracks. Monkey cage.
Rinsing rinsing raining. Rain so dry it does not wash so fast it does not stay. Rinsing rinsing. Rain.
Soft fingers dissolving. Mushy touch. Skin caught in teeth. Skin comes away, soft.
Face collect. Call no answer soap hands. SOAP HANDS! More faces. My faces. Not the moons just the pointy faces. Filter through fingertips. Soft. Caress cheeks and foreheads. Spoons wink.
Pull, release, drain. Drain sucks dry wet. Not dry yet. Not dry wet. Drain drain drain drain. Soapy white daises wave goodbye. Clinging I flip tip faucet and flood them away.
