A Woman washing her floor in the evening

[Beauty for Ashes 257]

Washing the floor

I am washing the floor with my tears

They cannot reach the towel

That I lay upon the tile

To remove the dirt of everyday life

I am washing the floor

And picking up the remnants of my children's day

Left over food and spilled milk

Which I try not to cry over

I try so hard not to cry

I am washing the floor

Hoping that tomorrow will give me a different face

That being alone isn't a sentence

And that I can endure this searing pain

Of washing the floor and straightening the house

For a love that never comes

I tuck in my babies and wipe down the kitchen

And turn off the lights and lay in my bed

And try to force myself into a deep, deep sleep

To deaden the pain and the loneliness

But each day comes calling like the dirt on my floor

Endlessly cleaning and always remaining

A woman washing her floor in the evening

There once wa a very cautious man,

who never romped or played.

He never smoked, he never drank,

nor even kissed a maid.

And he passed away they say,

that insurance was denied;

for since he never never lived,

they claimed he never died.

There was once a man from Nantucket,
