She beats the laundry <br />on the rocks before the stream. <br /> <br />She beats the laundry <br />til the linens are clean. <br /> <br />She lays out the laundry <br />in the hot sun to dry <br />heated by the sun <br />and sterilized. <br /> <br />She beats the dirty souls <br />on the rocks before the baptismal stream. <br /> <br />She beats the dirty souls <br />til the dirty souls are clean. <br /> <br />She lays out the dead souls <br />in the blazing sun <br />til they are sterilized.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laundries/
