at the washboard
scrubbing out stains from words
when you stop dear they will still be
white lies

Very cleverly written and such a delightful turn from the 3rd line - as it should be - so well done. I especially liked the way the last two words "white lies" hang there...very powerful indeed.
This is a good cinquian - thank you so much for this entry.
