erasure

Trying to get the blood stains out of my clothes.

It is my favorite shirt, given to me by my friend. All the stains came out of all the other clothes but this one shirt, in which the faint yellow of the blood protein left a visible enough shadow to call in the power of peroxide.

So I dab and dab with wet washcloths, all the stains set into the soft blue cotton.

Vigorous vinegar rinse.

Throw it into the wash on cold.

Drip dry.

The stains are gone.

Does this mean I should feel better now?

Does this mean everything is going to be okay?

  2. That is such a strong little entry there - can you see the inner strength there in what you wrote? It is a poem actually ...
    It is very touching.
    I hope just the exercise of writing such entries is giving you healing.
    Blessings.
