Sorting Laundry- Imagery

The Imagery presented in "Sorting Laundry" is simply the tasks of an everyday woman, with represent the story of her lost relationship. First, two fall in love and "fold together" giving the reader, at first the image of towel and then, the two lives being folding happily together. Next they "dream" together, literally, sleeping side by side, and figuratively planning their future. And, after awhile, their love is still strong and recycles, showing the literal image of the same clothes going through a weekly laundry cycle, but their love going through the same cycle, maybe getting boring after all these years. Now, the all the good memories together seem to fade and be forgotten. And, the love of her life is gone, and nothing could fill "the empty side of the bed, and the void in her heart. Now, all that she is left to remember what once was, is the clothes that got left behind, and the images they create ing mind. These take her back to when she was doing laundry for two, instead of doing laundry alone and nostalgic.
