RICHARD JONES

WHITE TOWELS


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

[from THE BLESSING: New and Selected Poems, Copper Canyon Press 2000]
