Doing Laundry with Beethoven
It's the little motions -
stretching an arm to peg
a long-sleeved shirt on the line,
leaning against the wall
to let someone pass,
lowering the kettle
silently to the stove
(Adagio from "Emperor"
hanging in the air) -
that carry the weight
of the day and prove
that we are here, now.
