No chore, this...

Washing Up

The kitchen sink holds extra charm
as she's encircled by his arm
and melodies unheard enhance
their poorly timed, impromptu dance.

The peeling paint or grime streaked wall -
they don't matter then at all,
for romance cloaks a mundane task
with magic. What more could one ask?

Inspired by Tess at The Mag 254

    Wonderful, impromptu dance of a poem, Jinksy (and this one is not "poorly timed"!). Thank you.

    "romance cloaks a mundane task with magic"---this is glorious, not only when one has it, but your depiction of it here in words!

    The scene you have captured is far better than having to wash up.

    It must have been one of the few bright spots in the grey and grimy soviet union ....
