Irma had a washing machine

 she didn't need a dryer

I see myself sitting under the
 
carport in the backyard

crunching bits and pieces
 
of apple in my mouth
 
 while she hung clothes out
 
I believe she ask sun to shine

and wind to join in
 
because I'm a eyewitness to

that actually happening

 I don't know why but it never

took long for them to dry
 
not back then

it was always a blessing to wear
 
 clothes that smell like sunshine

to me it looked like hard work
 
to Irma it wasn't a chore I think
 
she adored the
 
time she had to spend with
 
the source of light & power
 
it gave her the ability to

complete the task and get by
 
without a needless tumbling

manmade device
 
Irma always kept her

appointed time and she
 
always looked forward to her
 
meeting with the sky
 
now that she has been laid
 
to rest I can still see her through
 
the window of my mind's eye

 I can still see her pulling

clothespins out of the pockets

 of the button down  floral dress

she loved to wash and wear
