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.
