692: White Towels

[exceptindreams]

"White Towels"
Richard Jones

I have been studying the difference
between solitude and loneliness,
telling the story of my life
to the clean white towels taken warm from the dryer.
I carry them through the house
as though they were my children
asleep in my arms.

Is the quote in your icon from Heather Dale?

[plotbunniofdoom]

No, it's from Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.

Ah thank you, that would have been my next guess. It's just she has a song of the same title and I get easily confuzzlicated.
