Unclean



Unclean

Chaink, chaink, chaink
Sound vibrates
As each boot 
Steps
Tink, tink, tink
As pressure filled hose
Pendulums  against 
Ladder
Fyoosht, fyoosht, fyoosht
As violent vapors 
Burst out of 
Grip
Zipht, zipht, zipht
As billowing blast
Strips away time’s 
Grime

Clean


Ken Goree


I was pressure washing a house a few days ago, in preparation for painting.  It was mesmerizing to watch years of accumulated grime and soot strip away to reveal the clean, comparably vibrant paint beneath.
