washing dishes

when you wash the dishes.

wash the dishes.

each wipe of the hand.
each scrape,
feel the weight of things.

of forks and knives.
the bowls.

feel

the warmth or cold of
the water as it rushes down.

have no other thoughts,
but what you are doing.

listen to the water.
to the sound it makes
against your hands.

observe
the movement of things.
the clinking
of glasses, of plates.

dry gently and set things
aside.

lose yourself in this,
and in doing so, you will
begin your journey
home.
