(Wendy Cabell, April 14, 2021, feast day of the above Vilnius Icon of the Mother of God, and of Saint Lydwina of Schiedam. Poem is today's NaPoWriMo poem. Though prompted from Sunday's Breathe/Read/Write with Lisa Freedman, poem is also a sort of touchstone for recent 'Be transformed by the renewing of your minds' retreat via Precious Blood Renewal Center (Liberty, Missouri).

Coming Clean
Laundry: related to laver in
French and lavar in Spanish - to wash.
Travel: to journey , from travail (1300)
to make a journey, originally to toil, labor
(see travail). –Etymonline.com
Can't travel till get the laundry done, scoured
path so can think straight, journey on.
Can't travel till get the laundry done, it's flow
feet need, if they'll journey at all.
Can't travel till get the laundry done,
unless it's to Water we pilgrimage. In
that case, can't do the laundry
till we journey. Sigh of relief,
journey on.
*From prompt: freewrite as inspired by etymology of words laundry and travel; from Lisa Freedman's Breathe/Read/Write, April 11, 2021
