laundry day came
in a tumult of procrastination,
fingers worn as rags,
skin dry and white
as eggshells
(pale ivory with cracks
and freckles,
the heart a fleshy yolk,
yellow with jaundice
and indecision)
and a chore as mundane
as folding linen
became a metaphor,
fertilised and fit for
breaking open.

NaPoWriMo day #5.
I actually really like this one, but it's no secret that some of my favourite poems are self-referential.

I love the use of colour and the self-referential nature you mentioned
