Nowhere to Hide Dirty Laundry

I've nowhere to hide my dirty clothes
which sit in a pile to the right.

I swept them underneath my bed,
but somehow they fell back into view.

I pushed them behind my desk,
extinguished odor with scented candlelight.

Still, somehow, the unwashed pants and panties,
the self-disappointment and anguish
and slips

refuse to stay hidden.

I always find the pile, growing ever larger
in the center of my floor;
the sight becomes evermore difficult
to ignore.
